I’m 26 years old and have racked up about $10k in credit card debt. I have a pretty good job and pay about $300 a month towards my credit cards. I could probably pay a little more, but I’m also trying to save for a down payment to buy a house. Should I pay more towards my credit cards to improve my credit score or keep adding to my savings?
