<prompt> Human: Hello,I am expecting to be able to raise funds equating to roughly 5,000 selling personal items, odd jobs, tax returns from working before university. What are some ways to use this to quickly pay off my debt without just straight up applying it to the debt? Please no bitcoin or crummy investment ideas.  <response>: without just straight applying it to my debtBuy yourself a fairly nice suit and a haircut, and use it to get yourself a secondbetter paying job.Seriously investing isnt some magic box you put money into and it doubles overnight. Gains are generally fairly small and somewhat unreliable over short time spans. Your best investments you can make now based on average CC rates are going to be directly paying off that debt after setting aside a 1k or so emergency fund.
