However, our monthly repayment is pretty high (approx $2.5k per month). My take home is only $2700. And my bf and I are most likely going to split the repayment which means i would be paying $1.25k per month and that leaves me with $1.5k per month. Minusing my expenses, i would be left would $800 per month.. how do i invest with $800 only? Not to mention i need to save a portion of the $800 for rainy days.... Advices pls :(
