Should I do both at once or wait due to money

I do plan on getting all the belts replaced, alternator and water pump replaced, set ignition timing and getting seals replaced. I also need a new clutch but due to money restrictions I don't know. But here's the deal. I plan on getting what I listed above done first and foremost, but the clutch is a question. It needs to be replaced pretty badly since it's stock, but the car is still drivable. But with the slipping of it and all, I don't want to get all the belts and stuff replaced and then have to constantly beat the crap outta the car to get the clutch to engage and so. I mean I could deal with it, but I don't want my belts and crap to go bad and cam timing go off. Is it wise to replace it the same time while the other stuff is being replaced or is it alright to wait till I can be sure I can get it?

if anything id replace the clutch first. my cousin put off replacing the clutch, after awhile his clutch starting slipping like hell and he would accelerate VERY slow to keep it from slipping(slow as in geo metro going faster than you). all you need is a clutch disc, and that runs about $40 if you get a AutoZone one, but the labor is going to be expensive.

Autozone is the shit. They have lifetime warrantees on all their stuff. Just get the disc and do all the labor yourself.
