I paid off all my credit-cards, now what should be my next goal: Pay off my car or start a rainy day fund?
The way I put miles on cars by the time pay it off Ill have to turn around and get another one so Ill never be without a car payment.
Or I can create a savings account (I have a 401K but its not liquid & neither is a paid-off car). But, of course, it won’t earn enough money as I would save on the interest I pay on my car note.
Just curious: What do you think?
PS I my car note is low interest rate (6% I think) because I have good credit. And I only had credit cards because of a home remodel and a layoff, not because I am used to charging alot.

Since it seem the car payment will likely be there again after you pay this one off, the rainy day fund seems to be the more likely option..always nice to have a reserve put away so you can avoid using any credit card again.
