Stocks on average are like a 10% return on investment so if your credit card interest rate is higher than that, youre making a losing bet

Crypto is always a big gamble and I dont think borrowing against your credit card to finance gambling is responsible behavior.

My AMD stock has gained about 200% though since I went in and my crypto currency about the same it's doubled. Feels like a risk selling it all

Pay off your cards. Your cards probably have a interest rate of around 18 percent. Most professionals can't consistently get a 18% annual return. And even if you can get a 18% return you're just breaking even.

Yeah, I meant to say atleast around 18%.

You got a good return but that doesn't mean you'll continue to. Take your good fortune and get that weight off your back. Then you can get back to investing.

Okay. Even after paying 2000. I'll still have 3500 on one card and 1270 on another to pay off.

3500 @ 24% APR
1270 @ 2.6% APR (Closed card on a payment plan)

Then pay them off, starting with the highest interest accounts first. Carrying credit card debt is a losing game

I've been using the rolling method to pay them off with my income.

Recently payed off 3 of 6 of my cards off of my income. (About 750, 650 and 500 on the 3 of them)

It's just scary to get rid of all the savings. I don't have a lot of cash savings either

I didn't use my credit card to get the savings that was all from cash andinvestment profits. Mainly asking to see if it's smart to clear it all just to pay off a credit card

A lot of the debt came from emergency spending.
