I don’t recall why I never used the account, but I guess it just slipped my mind. Right before the pandemic started, I opened 529 College Savings Accounts for our daughters. My oldest was in eighth grade and one of my goals for 2020 was to start saving consistently for both daughters’ college education.

So, whenever I banked my check at the end of the month, $600 automatically disappeared from my savings account. Start Using Cash This is a wonderful way to save money. Believe me! See what I did there?

Advantages of Paying Off Debt From a purely financial point of view, it makes more sense to focus on debt payoff rather than directing available cash to a savings account. From a personal point of view, I much prefer living debt free. It’s a question of how to ensure the gains outweigh the losses.
