Preferences on which company to use?

My only debt currently is my truck I bought in Jan17 at 3.04%, (43k financed, 31k left, I’ve been paying extra on already, but thinking it might be smarter to invest the extra money instead of paying it off early.)

I am single HOH with 2 dependents (~60k/yr gross income), so my tax liability is lower now than it would be later, unless lowering my taxable income drops my income into the free shit eligible category (EITC, etc), which I should look at before the end of the year.

Anyone have some free ChiefsPlanet advice for me?
I won't assume anything, so do you have some sort of emergency fund savings somewhere else that would cover living expenses if something happened where you got laid off or had to take time off work?
