What will happen if you send another $1,000 to your retirement fund? What difference will it make? It is very, very hard to figure out.

If you do not have at least an eight-month emergency fund, and you think there's a probability you could loose your job - and it's not just losing your job; you could be in a car accident, get sick - continue to pay the minimum on your credit card every month.
