Do not carry any credit card debt past the 25 day grace period and keep a 0 balance credit card as an emergency fund. Start a Roth IRA for you and your wife and max it out each year. Push come to shove you could use any of your contributions to the Roth as an emergency fund in the future. Having multiple emergency funds is really smart. Max out your 401k too. You will not regret it!
Good advice here, just dont be cofused as i was as a youngster. A roth IRA is NOT thru ups, that would a Roth 401K, which you cannot take even your own, already been taxed money out of until age 59 1/2. Live and learn. Now I have both.
 
I never saw any point to having a Roth 401k. If you get a Roth it should be an IRA. In addition to your UPS 401k.
Some high income earners would not be eligible to have a ROTH IRA., So the Roth 401k is a big advantage for them

The two reasons I have my money in the Roth IRA is
1) many more investment choice

2) if you have Roth money in your 401k you have to take a RMD at 70 1/2
