I have $8,000 in credit card debt and $500/month free. Should I pay it down or invest?
Great question! Here's the honest answer: pay the debt first.

Your credit card is likely charging 18–24% interest. The stock market averages ~7%. You can't beat that math — paying off the debt gives you a guaranteed 20% return.

At $500/month, you'd be debt free in about 18 months — then redirect everything to investing. Want me to build you a month-by-month plan?
Yes please! And what about my emergency fund?
I'd actually suggest a split approach: Put $100/month into a HYSA for your emergency fund, and $400 toward debt. This gives you a small safety net while still aggressively paying down debt. Here's your plan...
