The wife and I would like to get out of our apartment sooner rather than later, we've currently put away ~$10k or so for just that. However combined, we have ~$5k in credit card debt from when times weren't quite as smooth. We both have very steady incomes now, albeit not high incomes, and were wondering what the best course of action for us is...
Do we pay off the credit cards completely so that we don't have to worry about them at all anymore, at the expense of us moving into a house sooner, and then save for a home or do we continue to pay the monthly credit card bill and work towards the house so that we're actually paying towards something with a mortgage instead of throwing money away on apartment rent? Any general advice on what should be top priority? Thanks!
