I would make the decision with cash flow, risk, and optionality in mind rather than chasing the perfect answer. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

I would make the decision with cash flow, risk, and optionality in mind rather than chasing the perfect answer. You will learn more from a simple version repeated three times than from a perfect plan you never start.

- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Respectfully, I see it the other way.

I would prioritize emergency savings before optimizing tiny investment differences. Boring liquidity prevents expensive panic. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.
