Default Re: Paying Yourself vs. Paying Credit Cards

You want to make sure that you pay the minimum amount on each of your other debts. Once the 24% card is paid off, then you can put all the money toward your 14% card. Once that is paid off, you can put all your money toward any student loans you have. Then you car. Then your house. This is called "snowballing" and is a very effective way to get out of debt.

It is what we did when we had major debt and I don't regret doing so in the least bit.
