That depends. How much is your savings account earning? Are you paying out more interest than you’re accruing? If your like most people, the answer is yes. I would say leave a $1,000 cushion in your savings. Make a $2,000 payment on your credit card. Make a $400 payment in Aug and Sept. Then make a $200 payment in Oct. You credit card will then be paid off and you’ll still have some cash in the bank. That way you’ll have no credit card payment for Nov and Dec. Use cash to buy Christmas presents. Then start construction your savings again at the beginning of the year. Once that card is paid off, there’s a huge temptation to use it. But, DON’T.
