'We haven't had to dip into our emergency fund for any emergencies since we finished building it in 2014. Even so, we're glad we have financial reserves during times like these.'

We decided to keep $10,000 in savings as we started our pay-off journey. This way, we could handle most financial surprises without digging ourselves deeper into debt.

Thankfully, we were spending much less than we earned to pay down her student loans. This meant we only had to put the aggressive debt pay-off on hold and we could still cover our other expenses.
