All Vanguard.
I am making full monthly Roth IRA contributions so it maxes out early.
I opened a brokerage account last year and now I invest $1,250 month to it.
Have 2.5% on our mortgage.
No credit card debt.
I bought a 2024 car, payment $550.00 at 4%. Owe $29,000.
Brokerage Account (ETFs).
Balance$33,749.52
Investment returns‡+$7,718.52
Rate of return††20%
Question 1: I have an emergency fund of $50K in a money market. Should I use that to pay off the car or I was wondering if I should stop the $1,250 monthly brokerage contribution and use it to as an extra monthly car payment until its paid off?
Question 2: Sometimes throughout the year I will have an extra $10K-$15K and I just let it sit. Would you recommend adding it to my Brokerage Account above? I thought about adding a CD but not sure.
Thanks.
