Re: Prioritizing extra money
Hopefully you can fund both the 401k up to the match *and* the emergency fund. I tend to disagree that you should build up your entire emergency fund before earning your 401k match. That's money that you lose forever if you don't take advantage of it.
You may be able to forego paying down #7 other debts before #8 taxable investment accounts, if the interest rates are relatively low. School loans in particular are usually cheap and tax-deductible, and not worth paying down the principal.
