Default Replace shocks now or wait?

My rear shocks are pretty much worthless at this point and my springs are totally flat. It's going to be a few more months before I have the scratch for a new set of springs, so I'm wondering if it will be worthwhile to replace the shocks now, or if I should wait until I can afford new leaf springs to avoid excessive wear and tear on my new shocks. Thanks!

If your not changing height then get shocks now to help with the ride and do springs when you can, if you are changing height, wait and do it all at the same time or in pieces once you know heights.
