<prompt> Human: Im expecting to get around 2500 for the sale, which coincidentally is how much credit card debt I have at the moment. Question is: do I pay off the cards or invest that money in my Roth IRA. I have my Roth IRA with Fidelity, and Ive been wanting to get some money into mutual funds for a while. Problem is most all the funds Ive looked at have minimum purchase amount, with with the low end typically being 2500.I believe I could have my credit cards paid off with my normal salary within 6 months if I stick to it.edit: terminology grammar  <response>: Youre able to pay about 400 a month to the cards? Id use the 2000 on the high intrest card, and the remainder for an emergency fund as you have none. In under two months you will be debt free and in three youll have over a thousand in your emergency fund. You can do the exact math, but to me a liquid safety net would be worth another 30 - 60 days of intrest.
