<prompt> Human: So coming out of the holidays I racked up quite a bit of CC debt as Im sure many others did as well. I thought Id have no problem paying it all off in the New Year but then January came along and I had various other expenses that drove my CC debt up higher: - 400 for my yearly eye exam1 years worth of daily contact lenses- 350 AirBNB for a trip that my girlfriend and I will be taking in May- 285 registration fee for a Charity bike ride that I do every year. So, combining that with the debt I racked up over the holidays Im looking at 2,729.56 in CC debt. I have a plan to aggressively pay this down over the next two statement periods It will be down to a 729.56 by the end of the week when the current statement closes but in order to do so I ended up taking 500 from my Emergency fund giving it a new total of 5,000. I have a goal to get the fund up to 7,500 by the summer.Is this okay to do? Im just mad at the fact that I took out 500almost 10 of the fund when I couldve maybe budgeted a little better to not have to dip into it at all. I just thought that the 500 would help me pay down quicker and I would avoid paying less interest on the next statement. Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated to let me know if there is a better way for me to go about this. Thanks!TL;DR Upset that I had to dip into my E-fund in order to help pay down my debts faster. Looking for recommendations on how I could handle this better or assurance that Im doing the right thing.EDIT: Thanks for all the insight guys! After hearing from a bunch of you Ill be withdrawing 1,000 from my e-fund to help pay off the entire 2,729.56 in full. I plan on having the e-fund back up to 5,500 by mid-March!  <response>: I would consider the debt an emergency. Get rid of the cards and build your fund back up to 6 months of expenses.
