<prompt> Human: Its 2,500 that Ill be getting in June and Im not sure how to properly use it. I have about 2,500 dollars in credit card debt, should I use my bonus check to pay that off entirely? Or should I continue to pay off my debt on a monthly basis? I make about 35,000 a year, live at home and my main expense is really my car, student loans are about 80k, what should I do?  <response>: This is basic flowchart stuff. Do you have 1k set aside in an emergency fund? If not, thats 1 priority. If so, use it to pay off your credit card likely high interest rate debt.
