LifeLock Identity Theft Prevention - Save 10%

I am 24 years old and I have 9,000 dollars in cash in a savings account making 3.5%. I also have 2300.00 dollars in a RRSP I can't touch. I have 4500 dollars in credit card debt and another 30,000 in student loans. I'm not working right now and just wanted some suggestions about my finances. Should I pay off all the credit card debt now and invest the rest? Or live off the cash until I find a job?

Pay off whatever debts you have because if you invest the rest now, your debt will still be around.

I have a similar situation to yours. What's the credit card interest rate? Is it more than 10%? If so, pay it off alltogether - otherwise just make the minimum payments until you find a job.

That's my website right there. You need to get a better interest rate on your $9,000 because 3.5% is HORRIBLE. I've been using EmigrantDirect for the past 2-3 years now. They are FDIC insured and are a trustworthy institution.

If you're living with your parents and have low expenses, I would go ahead and pay off the credit card debt. You're going to have to pay it off eventually- might as well do it before you pay a couple hundred bucks in interest! If you're on your own, I would pay the credit card about $100-200 above the monthly minimum, but I would keep more cash on hand in case you have to make the $9,000 stretch a while.
