Paying off short term high interest debt should always be first. Next, given the current state of monetization and low interest, is to invest in hard goods that will maintain their value in the face of the devaluation of our currency (in the past this was called inflation but now the FED is transferring the fiscal effect of government policy to an increased money supply and suppressed interest rates, which is why it is foolish to save cash these days), but if you can scape enough cash together real estate is also a good place to maintain the value of your money. I have historically invested in Gold, Silver, and guns. My firearm purchases over the past 40 years have held or gained value. I do not buy many commercial guns but instead buy military and historical related items. The other side of that coin is that I bought a Remington 788 in 6MM Remington for $110 in 1973 that I could probably sell for $500 today. That was a pretty good investment.
Cars, clothes, and other social enhancements devalue the minute you purchase them and will never regain their value. Are you living for today or for the future? That will guide you to the answer you seek.
