<prompt> Human: Were planning on moving within 2 years for work. We have quite a bit in credit card debt way more than the 5k but for that amount we found out we can add a formal dining room to our kitchen. We currently have a tiny eat-in dining room that barely fits our own family. We would make well over the 5000 spent on adding the dining room when we go to sell.So should we pay down the debt or add the dining room?Edit: I guess I will also mention that I am on the side of paying debt but my wife wants to add the dining room. How can I sway her to pay off debt?  <response>: ALWAYS pay down interest-bearing debt when you can!
