I have 00 in credit card debt. I commute to school and I lost my job right at the beginning of the fall semester and with rising gas prices the dollars just racked up. Anyways, I’m back on my feet with a secure part time job and I need to pay off my debt. With my pay/hours right now I can pay off about 0-200 per month. My question is should I use my money I have in other places to pay off as much of this debt right now as possible? I have 0 in a savings bond, another 0 in a savings account my parents opened when I was little, and 00 in a college fund. So after all that my debt would be down to about 0. As much as I like having that college fund as back up I am a Dean’s List student and half my tuition is paid for by scholarships and the rest from government aid each year so I’ve never had to use it. I would really like to pay off my credit card, cut it up, and be done dealing with the debt…what do you think the best solution is? Throw all money I can at it now or just pay what I can each month?
