Interest is 18%.for a total of 30.5k in debt.current financial status:1k emergency fund.1k in reserves outside of that.6 month plan:I'm going to japan in march with my sister so i'm currently reserving my money to do cool things in japan as it was my personal incentive to get my *** into gear and get my life together.after that trip i'm planning to tackle my debt in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest rate.I believe i can comfortable put 2500 a month into my finances. so i expect to be able to be debt free roughly a year from march.After that: im planning on parking my money into the smp 500 to help it grow until i have enough money for a downpayment on a duplex to a quadplex and doing the houshacking strategy yall talk about.
