Once your total debt is reduced by 30% to 70%, began investing in retirement accounts (10- 15% of salary at minimum) while simultaneously paying down remaining debts5. Begin a higher education fund for your children (If any) while still investing Pay off mortgage, commercial or personal estate, or any such property6.
