Your savings 'snowball' - What are YOU saving for first and last?

I find it difficult to know what to save for in general as a 26 year old single person with no real goals, let alone the order, but mine are: 1. Emergency fund: £6,500 / £9,000 2. House deposit + buying costs: £20,000 / £34,000 3. Medium term savings (car? Wedding?? Amazing holiday?? Kids?!): £5,300 / infinity 4. Long term savings, i.e early retirement fund: not sure / not sure (should probably look into this. Currently save 12% of my salary but not sure how much has been accrued or what I'm invested in, I only upped it to 12% a few months ago).

I'm generally prioritising the shorter term stuff like emergency fund (which was previously up at £9k before I decided to use some of it to invest in equities (medium term savings)) and house deposit, but I'm probably not going to buy a house for at least two years so I do wonder if I'm prioritising house deposit because it's what I think I should be doing..
