Save money, pay off debt. I wouldn&#x27;t advise starting a company until a last resort or you have a solid understanding of what&#x27;s involved. Starting your own business isn&#x27;t for everyone, could send you into further debt&#x2F;trouble and it&#x27;s <i>very stressful</i>.<p>Invest in yourself. Keep current and research what skill sets are in demand. Look at companies hiring even if you don&#x27;t need to move. Don&#x27;t wait until you find yourself with outdated skills knocking on people&#x27;s doors.
