The Savings vs. Payoff Debt Dilemma
Should you save money, pay off debt first, or split your funds between both?
Most experts recommend that you establish a solid emergency savings account and pay off credit card debt before you begin to pay down fixed-payment debt. When it comes to debt like credit cards and personal loans, you have a choice—pay off debts with the highest interest rate first or pay down the smallest debt first and then move on to the next one.

While banks and credit unions offer nearly identical services and account choices, there are some key, money saving differences.
As not-for-profit, member-owned cooperatives, credit unions give back to members in the form of lower loan rates, fewer fees, and higher returns on deposits than you’d typically find at traditional banks. That’s more money for your savings account, your pocket, and your family.
