This has worked for me (while everything has been going up since 2011) because otherwise I would have been paying down debts while there would have been opportunities that slipped away while I had no investment ready / re-allocatable assets.If we return to 2009 like scenario again I will change strategy by paying down debts faster, lowest balance first a la "Ramsey", but I will still be saving/investing.I think it's best to concentrate on getting your net worth to increase each month and to do that, even more than a little extra work hours, you need assets that grow.
