Congratulations on the new job!

Try to minimize lifestyle creep. You've been living comfortably at $65k, so make sure you barely even see the extra income. I would proactively increase your pre-tax retirement contributions through work, and also increase the percentage of your income that goes straight to savings rather than checkings. Keep the amount you're living on the same or almost the same.

Other people have linked or referenced the PF 'prime directive.' It's basically a flowchart that tells you the ideal way to do exactly what you're asking. Follow that.
