Yes, big fan of Dave. We have a decent emergency fund in place, and have plans to minimize/eliminate debt as I take the pay cut to first year regional FO.
We were doing the snowball but put it on hold for now due to the uncertainties of separating and nailing down a job. Throwing everything extra we can for now into the emergency fund.
