The good news is I'm not signing a lease when I move in with my friends, so I can pay down this debt, and then reevaluate my options in 8 months or so. @Dimples: Yup, that $500/month is already factored into my Debt Payoff Plan, I'll be sending roughly $1,600/month toward debt. My E-Fund is only going to be $1,000 until I pay off my cards, but I'm non-negotiable on that one. Definitely socking away that 1k before I do anything else, don't want to get in a jam and have to go back to the cards. @ms. m&p:

Why not apply that $500 each paycheck towards your debt? You could get rid of that Dell balance in a month and a half. Or instead of directing the remaining $$ in your checking account towards your E-fund, why not put it towards debt instead? Then you can have that Dell account paid off in about a month's time. Good choice on the moving situation. What is your E-fund goal?

Every month you'd be thinking that you could have had $500 more... About the credit card interest--the Dell card is really high. I hope you can get rid of that balance soon. I know how it is to have your interest rates motivate you. It's silly, but it's one of my biggest motivators. I can really work myself up over the interest (even when it's low), and it makes me want to put every dime towards debt. Just thinking about it makes me want to check my bank account right now and see how much I can send to debt!!
