Re: 401K before credit card debt? or other way around?
I would continue to contribute to the 401k and move any credit card debt to a lower rate credit card...even if it takes 2 or 3 to carry your current balance. I would then continue to move it to a 0% card when the rate goes up after the promotional period ends.
Other option is taking out a home equity loan since the rate is less and the interest is tax deductible, but this would be my very last option due to its lack of appeal.
If you are younger than 30 you cannot afford to not contribute to a 401k!
