<prompt> Human: Just as the title says and I am not sure what to do. Recently divorced and trying to get things back together. Should I save the money as a rainy day fund or pay off the large portion of my debt. I will also get a bonus at work in a few months of hopefully around 2500. I have a decent job and will also get a raise in the next few months as well. Opinions welcomed...  <response>: I generally go half on things like this. Especially if youve got no savings. Start an emergency savings account, but put some towards paying off your debt too. How much you put where really depends on percentage rates and how you prefer to handle your finances.
