<prompt> Human: Hey guys,My fiancée and I have been saving up for the past few months since the new year to pay for our wedding, which looks like its going to add up to about 18,000 CAD. My fiancée is great, shell be coming into our marriage with no debt, and were on track to earn enough to get a first and last on a decent sized apartment in another city, and mostly using hand-me-down stuff until we can afford to work our way up. We both have large families so theres lots of junk were scrounging through. Myself on the other hand, Ive got about 2200 in credit card debt, annual interest of about 19.99. My take-home is about 2100 monthly right now, and thats mostly been going into getting all of our down-payments done to prepare for the wedding. My fiancée insists that its more important for us to save and make sure we have enough money for the final payments for the wedding in cash. Im not convinced though - I feel like the next few months of paying interest on my credit card works out worse in the longer term, as Id think if I had to I could just go back into debt on my CC for the final payments, and then pay them off once weve received our wedding gifts from our guests.TL;DR - Should I pay off my 2200 19.99 credit card debt off now? Or wait until after the wedding is completely paid off?Thanks for the time, you guys are super helpful!EDIT: Sorry, I should have mentioned that our personal cost on the wedding is going to be 8,000, as our family is assisting us with the cost significantly. - and thats between both of us. So its more like 4,000 each, plus our firstlast and all that other stuff. Maybe I should have titled it saving for starting a life rather than a wedding.  <response>: Do NOT carry debt at 20, this is common sense. Pay this off immediately. Then go back to saving for the wedding. If you come up short on the wedding, either cut costs or worst case scenario get a small personal loan at a third of that rate and pay it off fast. To answer your question in the title, its very important!
