This makes me feel good about my wife's 100k
. I personally feel like paying off student loan debt is always the better option. With other loans,especially a mortgage, you at least have the chance of the house appreciating in value. So if you don't pay any extra and invest, at least you have the value you are putting in your home if the investments don't pan out. With a student loan, you are accruing interest, and if you aren't seeing any benefits on your investments, you just racked up a ~6% on 290k. That's 17k gamble per year. To rich for my blood.
