<prompt> Human: So Im getting out of the military this fall and luckily my separation pay will pay off all of my consumer debt and my car. Unfortunately, when I was a younger, lower ranking Airman, I made a poor investment by buying a house that will probably be EXTREMELY difficult to sell. Im hoping to sell it but I might not be able to. Im also looking for ANY kind of good gainful employment that Ill be able to support my wife, pay child support from previous marriage, and have a place Ill be able to keep my three dogs getting rid of them isnt an option, you redditors understand right?. Help???EDIT I owe about 87k on the house and its value is about 90-95K in the area. The problem is that it needs a little bit of work the seller didnt reveal the issues it has, bad on my part. My mortgage payment is 665mo so Id have to rent it out for a little over 700mo for property management purposes. 910 chances Ill be moving away if I find a good enough job. However, I doubt Id be able to rent it for that price.  <response>: I dont think you should use your separation pay to pay off all of your debt. You need money to live on first. Pay the minimum payments only until you find a job and then you can use whatever is extra to knock out some of your debts. If you pay off all you debts but are left with no money to survive on, you are only going to rack up debt again.
