well, i definitely plan on sinking a good amount into my 401k, especially since the employer match is dollar-for-dollar.
concerning credit cards, ive never had one (always used a debit card), so ive never had to deal with the monthly payment of one. is there some rule of thumb concerning how much your credit card bill should be each month? maybe a better question is, when should i buy something with "cash" (ie. have total purchase amount available in my account, and paying with a check or debit card), and when should i buy something on credit?
also, im still in the dark concerning investing....like i said, im probably looking into an indexed mutual fund, but im not sure how much i could (or should) put into it.
