<prompt> Human: Last month I had a sudden emergency and leave the country for 3 weeks. And before leaving I had spent 1k on my credit card. I pay off my credit card in full every month and avoid interest as it is against my religion. I have until the 12th of February to pay it off. I start work this week but I wont be working enough in the next 2 weeks to make that much money. I have money invested in cryptocurrency and stock market. More than enough to pay off 1k but since cryptocurrency market has dipped a lot I dont want to make my losses realized. Im up from my initial investment. Same with the stock market. Im down YTD but Im not up from my initial investment in the stock market. I need help figuring out what to do. This Is the first time Ive been in this situation. I have to avoid interest at all costs. Im 19. EDIT: Im aware of how credit card works. I didnt think I would be in this situation. I have to avoid interest for religious purposes. Im sorry if I come off as a fucking idiot. Just lost and this kind of is a pretend problem. Might sell stocks and take the money out of there. Thank you everyone for commenting and helping.  <response>: lol this is a pretend problem. Either make a minimum payment and pay interest or sell assets to pay off the debt. If you didnt want to violate your religion, dont put yourself at risk by using a line of credit. If you didnt want to sell your assets and realize losses, dont buy volitile assets when you might need liquid cash quickly.
