Hi guys,need a bit off advice.
recently i received a gift from my parents.
It is substantial amount of money,but not enough to buy us a 3 bedroom house,maybe it would do for a mortgage, but my credit score is low and i have some debts to pay off,which would save us about 500 a month plus obviously interest. If we would be saving up we would have enough money in 5 years to buy us something proper and be debt free.my partner wants to buy rather now something abroad ,because he eventually wants to live abroad. I am not really sure with the idea...

Interest on debt outweighs benefits of savings.

Pay off debt but carry on paying most of that sum saved monthly into savings for a deposit
