    Depends on how you look at it.

    For a long time I had more savings then debt, but couldn't face seeing the savings go down or altogether.

    Instead I threw more at the debt, while maintaining savings. So I was still paying some interest, not the moneysaving way, but it worked for me and I'm now truly debt free, with savings.
  • Thanks to everyone for their advice. Looks like paying it off is the way forward.
  • I would offer i piece of advice.
    I had a similar situation and i paid off the card with savings, and then they reduced my credit limit stating that i did not seem to use or require that higher limit anymore.....
    So maybe you could think on this and keep some held back and pay off some of the balance ;)
