My credit union's savings rates are fairly piddly but there hasn't been much extra due to our expedited debt reduction plan. Once it's gone in a few more months I'll have to pay it more attention.

I already contribute 6% to my 401k.(company match) I am glad to say I only have about say 400 dollars or so in debt right now and I plan to keep it that way. I just have been floating through life spending everything I earn and living paycheck to paycheck. It makes me sick to think how much money I have made in the past three years, and have 0 dollars in savings right now.
