A lot currently. Although I will be done with school loans quickly. I only have $10k left. I do pay more than I need on these things so I can kick more towards the principle. It's not the paying the bills I'm worried about. It's the rainy day that hits and I'm not ready for it. Should I be injured or very ill or something financially goes haywire (furlough) I'd like to still have some reserves to fall back on. I hate paycheck to paycheck living. It's so stressful.
