Why? What is that cash doing for you that you couldn't do with a CC if you ran in to an emergency?


Earn interest instead of costing you much more in interest.

I'm not sure I follow. Where are you earning interest?

That cash is taking care of the issue/problem. Putting it on a credit card is delaying and enlarging that problem. Am I wrong?

I don't follow this either. If you're truly committed to paying off the CC, it would make sense to save yourself hundreds of dollars in interest by applying that $2,500 towards the debt. If you pay down that CC with the $2,500 and look at that newly available credit as more spending ability, then you're F'ed either way. It's just a matter of when.
