Credit Card All of my New York sins are finally paid off! :-)

Credit Card
0%

Emergency Fund I have currently only little money put aside for cases of emergency - in the worst case this includes losing my job, but will more likely cover unexpected expenses like repairs. The aim is to have 3 months worth of salary in here.

Parents. I still owe my parents money for a car repair that might have been somewhat related to me (*cough*), which is what I’ll base these 100% on for the moment.

House. I don’t even want to think about how far out of reach London property seems at the moment, but I nevertheless will do what I can to save for a decent downpayment in order to buy somewhere nice in the foreseeable future.

Well, I’m in NY at the moment - that’s one of the list. Would love to do some more South-East Asia, maybe Brazil… oh and Australia. But for the moment it’s probably mostly gonna be city trips in Europe… (Rome is next)
