We now have now made it previous the second contingency interval. The inspection has been reviewed and accepted. The appraisal is finished. The deadline is simply a few weeks away. I’m positive you all know that I’ve been taking part in with the numbers for months now.
However I nonetheless don’t know the way a lot I’ll really take away from the home sale. Nonetheless, I’ve acquired a strong plan for the place the cash will go. Clearly, the home will likely be paid off. The whole for that pay out will likely be round $127,000.
First, the painter will likely be paid the remaining $600 I owe him.
Second, I’ll repay my dad for the mortgage from January, 2024 for the brand new furnace.
Third, I’ll repay ALL of my bank cards. All besides three of them will likely be closed. Eliminating the temptation. I will likely be leaving my Apple CC, Sam’s Membership CC, and USAA CC open. They’re already locked (and maxed out so the lock doesn’t actually do something.)
Between, these three objects, $23.850 will likely be spent.
Based mostly on my guestimates, that may then depart me with a nest egg of…
I don’t plan to hurry to repay my scholar loans. At this level, they are going to be my solely debt, and I’m comfy with simply beginning to make common month-to-month funds.
I’ve a number of different issues I’d love to do, however I believe the most effective factor could be to:
- Put a minimum of $7500 in an EF. That may be primarily 3 months of dwelling bills ought to one thing occur to me/my work.
- Pay my automobile insurance coverage via this 6 month interval. My auto insurance coverage is my highest month-to-month invoice. And whereas there isn’t any curiosity to make month-to-month funds, I’d prefer it to be paid. Then I can “pay myself” month-to-month so when it renews in September, I pays it unexpectedly. That is only a peace of thoughts factor vs a monetary factor.
- The rest will likely be used to jumpstart my Transfer fund in a excessive yield financial savings account.
I’m actually open to suggestions.
