This week we tackle another listener question from our ASKPB queue:

Hey guys! The question I have is if I should stay in a job that I don't like until I pay off all my debt. I'm in my late 20's, and I'll make 70k this year and I have 28k in credit card debt. The credit cards have been cut, dipped in lighter fluid, and thrown into a fire pit. I've been using only cash and started budgeting.

The job that I currently work at pays well, but I don't enjoy the work or people. I've been with this company for a couple years, and only stayed with them because I was told there would be future opportunities in my field. As of right now, I don't see that happening in the near future, and feel the longer I stay, the further away I'll get from doing the work I actually want to do. I don't know if I should go ahead and leave or stay until I'm debt free. Another thing is that my job provides housing and transportation, additional cost that I would have if I switch jobs.

Either way I'm going to leave, just don't know if I should leave sooner rather than later.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

On the second half of the show, we're joined by Matt Schulz from CreditCards.com.
