The more monthly debt you have, the lower the purchasing power.You also don't have much for savings, there are often surprises when owning a property that you should have some reserves for.I'm not a financial advisor, but on the surface, I would sell the car for $15K, put $7K towards the credit card and the rest into savings.Also, with the $7K in credit card debt, you need to ask yourself "why do I have this debt?"
