Pay off the debt and keep driving the Saturn until it dies. You should be able to get several more years out your 2003 car as long as you keep up with the recommended maintenance. Just reckon, in 15 months you will not have the credit card debt or the car payment and you will be able to keep all the money you send out to cover those two bills. Who cares if your friends and neighbors driver fancier cars than you? You will probably have a larger number on your bank account statement than they have on theirs.
