You pretty much said it..."boost non-retirement savings". That's pretty our goal right now. We need to achieve our EF goal of $36K by next summer. Everything else we start tackling one by one.
For instance, we have a lot of expenses that we are looking ahead in the next year or two. Our kids room is the top priority; we need to repaint both of their rooms, add new beds and furnitures. We are also looking replace our TV and the microwave. Then theres our old 95 Altima that have been so good to us. We like to keep it as long as it last. Hopefully, we won't need to replace it just yet. Knock-on-woods!
