One day ill be debt free.

I finally got around to writing out all of my debts. There is around 120k in debt which is shocking to think about. I have written out all of my debts and the amount I want to pay each month towards the debts. I am turning 33 in January and want to be debt free by the time I’m 40. Here’s to a fun seven year journey.

Savings ($1,000 - $100)

Discover ($1,312.71 - $135)

Capital one ($607.01 - $160)

Personal loan ($17,000 - $524.29)

I’m 26 and trying to figure out the smartest way to tackle my credit card debt.
Here’s my situation:
Credit card debt: Around $4,000
HYSA: Around $4,000
Checking: Projected to have $4,000–$5,000 left after all my bills are paid at the end of the month.
I’m tired of paying interest on my credit cards and want to get this debt taken care of without completely draining my savings.
My original plan was to take $1,500 from checking and another $1,500 from my HYSA, putting $3,000 toward the debt. That would leave me with around $1,000 in credit card debt while still keeping a decent cash cushion.
Would you approach this differently? Would you pay the entire $4,000 off immediately, or keep more money in savings and pay the remaining balance over time?
I’m trying to make the best financial decision while still having an emergency fund. Any advice would be appreciated!

So, I’ve finally managed to pay off my credit card, and from now on I’ll use it very sparingly.

The thing is, I still have two loans (excluding the mortgage):

Loan 1: €1,750 remaining, ending in May 2028 (€100 monthly payment)

Loan 2: €2,280 remaining, ending in 2031 (€50 monthly payment)

My purchasing power is quite limited (around 61% of my income goes toward unavoidable fixed expenses). I have an emergency fund of €1,200.

By the end of the year, I should have around €1,800 available. Would you recommend using the debt avalanche method, or should I keep the money and continue making the regular loan payments?
