In the last month Ive: nbsp; Paid off all of my debt. Around 25k. Raised my credit score from 610 to 722, because Im no longer maxing out my available credit. Opened a savings account and now have enough to carry me through 6 months of unemployment if necessary. Upped my 401k contribution. Opened and maxed out a Roth IRA. Invested in a mutual fund. Set up monthly direct transfers to my savings and mutual fund. nbsp; Based on various investmentretirement calculators, Im now on track to retire at 55. Going from drowning in debt with a credit score too low to be approved for anything to being on track for an early retirement feels pretty damn good.
