<prompt> Human: Doing so will leave me with about 1000 of cushion but Ive been saving to purchase a house. My husbands income will be lower through March so Im not sure what to do but were not paying off the debt fast enough and I feel like interest is killing us.  <response>: You are probably nowhere near ready to buy a house if after paying off high interest rate debt you have only 1000 in an emergency fund.I would do that and then focus on building back up your savings.
