- Pay off student loans
- Build up 6 month EF
- Build up moving saving*

* Fiance wants to go back to school, and I want to find a job more in my target career, so we're going to need to move, so this would be moving expenses, first and last months rent, etc.

1. Re-build the car replacement fund. We had to borrow from it to make some repairs.

2. Build up the emergency fund. I'd like to get it to 4-6 months expenses just for security and peace of mind.

3. Bring up our income ... not sure how to do this yet. I'm calling out to God and listening intently for the answer.
