If you were getting a lump sum of 8000$ what would you do ? Pay Line of credit - $4844. 00, Credit card - $6000, or Student Loan - $10, 150 first ? Interest on my cc is 19%. Unsure of the other two. Will put $1000 in an emergency fund. Other $2000 is spoken for.

Pay off line of credit, put $3, 156 to credit card, and you just eliminated half of that debt

I would pay the bill with the highest interest rate first.

Smallest first. Take that payment plus what you normally pay and put towards CC.

I’d do line of credit paid off and the rest to credit card.

I’d say if you can pay something off in full, do it. Then snowball the rest.

Highest interest rate 1st! You’re paying ~$100/month in interest on that CC.
