Pay consumer credit first or save money?

[Kamenin Earl Banks]

Hi everyone! I need some advice. I just read Sott Trench's "Set for Life". It was a great book and I am going to follow his ideas. But I'm struggling with deciding whether I should pay off my consumer debt first or save to have my cash reserve for my first investment opportunity. I want to have the cash so I can stop missing potential opportunities. What do you all suggest?
