<prompt> Human: I am potentially striking come January. I just started my job in September and I have a bunch of student loans and moderate 4k credit debt. My loans exit grace period on 128, and I am trying to catch a student loan interest deduction before thenI was told not to pay more than the minimum on the loans if the labor situation is not resolved by the time I have to. Generally speaking, I need to survive on my emergency fund for a while. As I just started this job, I have little in my emergency fund but Im okay reverting to hungry-college-student for a while. Additionally I have money in a Roth IRA; I could sell investments and cash out the contributions.I picked up a couple of credit cards I dont have an issue with using credit cards, the debt I do have is due to not having a job for 4 months between grad school and working, plus going on a couple family trips and planning Christmas vacation with 0 APR on both purchases and balance transfers for 18 months. I picked up one card originally to transfer a balance that I picked up for the aforementioned vacation I planned; the other one I picked up because I found out it had a 0 balance transfer fee. So one card is balance free and one card is about 15 utilized.I dont like the idea of living in debt very much Im constantly looking longingly at Mint to see if I could pay off all my credit debt in full immediately but I think the 0 interest cards could really help out if a strike occurs. What does rpersonalfinance think of this?  <response>: no
