I will admit, when it comes to retirement, investing etc. Myself and husband are clueless. We are 26 and I just started my 401k a year ago after getting comfortable in my full time job after college. My husband has been contributing since 21.
We've been debating either stopping or lowering our contributions to work on paying off debt. Except, we are conflicted on this for obvious reasons.
Debt:
17k vehicle one 1.9%
18k vehicle two 4%
14k student loans
Contributions
Me: 3% employer matches 10% per dollar $1
Husband: 5% employer matches 100% up to 6%
My contribution using comes to around $50 a pay period and my husband's around $100.
Any advice?
Thanks
