<prompt> Human: 44,000 a year may not seem like a lot to most people but it is the most money that I have ever made in my life and I have worked extremely hard to get where I am today.. Took me awhile to finish school and was working factory jobs to barely make ends meet.Recently moved back to my Dads house after a recent split up. So Im single, no kids. I have 6,000 saved, but around 6,000 in student loans left still. Im looking to save, invest and be smart with my money, just looking for advice. My Dad was never smart with his money and watching him struggle over the years and watching him at around 65 years old, seeing how hard he works and still struggle and still have a mortgage payment makes me sad and not want to make the same mistakes he did. Best ways to invest? How should I invest? How can I become a millionaire? How can I save enough so I dont have to worry about money? Any advice would be helpful and greatly appreciated.. Thanks everyone!Edit: Wow thanks for the advice everyone! Did not expect this to blow up like it did. Thank you! Assistant: Does your company have a 401k you can contribute to? That is the best way to start saving for retirement. 6k is a good emergency fund since you are living at home. If you buy a house youd want more. I would stop saving money toward the e-fund and focus on your debt now. Youre not in a bad spot. Human: Yeah, i just started contributing to 401k last year. And thanks, I was thinking i should try and get ride of the student loan debt as fast as possible.  <response>: Attack the debt always, my strategy. Interestoverpaying.
