Please, If people ask you for Investing.

Use your money wisely, one thing you should know. Never use any money form your financial need, I believe you don't have a lot of Fund Saving. My suggestion, better to stay focused to your jobs freelance first rather than Investing.

Build your Fund Saving, until Investing Lost not gonna to effect your life.

Yes, probably pay off credit card debt of 3K with my savings, I think removing/Reducing bills may be the right thing to do, Warren buffets wise words. Thank you.

Sounds a better plan, bills will slow you and will make it harder for you everyday so get rid of them. Are you single by any chance? If yes then you could easily make it out there, as there will be less liabilities. Well we have our own battles to win so good luck out there.
