Hi all, I'm writing this post in search of methods to pay off all of my CC debt. 

I currently have 2800 in checking/cash, although my debts (5380) are:

BOFA 2800 @ 24.74% (around $58 in interest/month)

CFU 1000 @ 0% until 09/23

AMEX 780 @ 25.24% (around $28 in interest/month)

CSP 800 @ 26.74% (around $29 in interest/month)

Monthly Take-Home: 3600 - 1200 in fixed expenses then 2400 goes towards savings &amp; debt repayments

Been stuck in CC debt since taking some weekend trips in June 2022, but now I'm trying to maximize my savings rate. I stopped using debit cards to start gaining CC rewards and quickly got caught up in lifestyle inflation, eating out, etc. Looking to eliminate all debt as soon as possible - I was considering using the 2800 to bring my total debt down to 2580, then taking out a loan but interest rates are way too high atm. Did a pre-qualification check with Discover and they quoted - ($90 monthly, 17.99%, 36 months) to ($57, 20.99%, 84), (if I took the loan, I can still put towards my savings and pay down the loan at the same time). I get paid bi-weekly, (1st and 15th), but already received my 1st check prior to Christmas and will only be receiving 1800 for the month of January.

I also have 1600 in savings and \~1900 in long-term stocks, but I'm not looking to pull out of any of those. Also down about 19% YTD on the stocks as I started investing last year, so yeah not touching that as of yet. Although if necessary, I could possibly tap into the savings - that's my last option. Much appreciated everyone, thanks.
Based on the details you've provided, here's a plan which might help you to tackle your debts:

1. Prioritize Highest Interest Rates:
   Start by paying off the credit cards with the highest interest rates. This is known as the 'avalanche method'. This means that first and foremost, focus on paying off the CSP card ($800 @ 26.74%) and then the AMEX card ($780 @ 25.24%). This will help reduce the amount of interest you are accruing.

2. Use 0% Interest Rate Grace Period:
   The CFU card has a 0% interest rate until September 2023 - you can use this grace period to your advantage by paying off the other cards first and then focusing on this card.

3. Emergency Savings:
   It's good to have an emergency fund, but in your case, the interest on your credit card debt is likely higher than the interest you're earning on your savings. You could consider using a part of your savings to pay off your high-interest debts. However, be sure to leave some money in your savings for emergencies.

4. Stock Investments:
   It's understandable you do not want to sell your stocks at a loss. However, if your debt continues to grow, you may need to consider this option. Keep close tabs on your investments and consider liquidating if they recover.

5. Budgeting:
   Tighten up your budget and cut unnecessary expenses. Use any extra money to pay off your debts. Also, try to avoid lifestyle inflation and live within your means.

6. Extra Income:
   If possible, try to increase your income. This could be through overtime, a side job, or selling items you no longer need.

7. Debt Consolidation:
   Debt consolidation could be a good option if you're able to secure a loan with a lower interest rate than your credit cards. However, make sure you do not rack up more credit card debt once you've paid off your cards.

Remember, it's important to stop using your credit cards to avoid accumulating more debt. Once you've paid off your debts, start rebuilding your savings and consider investing again when you're financially stable.
