    Paying off credit cards
    I have a several credit cards with balances between $340 and $1300. I have these cards with no interest for about another six months.
    Should I take money out of my savings to pay these cards off now, or wait until I am closer to the end of my 0% introductory rate?

    I believe it depends on your habits. If you think that you can manage your credit card debts wisely, there is no reason to pay them off now. However, if you think that when the 0% rate is about to expire, you would have blown your extra cash away, pay them off now. You should always pay your most expensive debt first. So if you have any other debts (loans etc... ) you might want to consider that.
    In any case, paying your credit cards off as soon as possible is always a good idea, as time will pass by quickly and next thing you know, you still have balances owing.
