Basically your life savings at this point. 26 years old and right at 30k for student loans. Potentially buying a house soon.

Better to keep the cash for a house and balance on loans? Or pay off 2/3 of loans and finance the whole house.

I'm assuming it's better to get rid of the higher interest rateson the loans but I know cash is needed for a house.

Thoughts?

They vary. About 6k at 11%. The rest are at about 4-6% each. Can't consolidate all of them.

I'd pay the 6 and keep the rest for the house.

Pay the $6,000 off today. 11% is a very high rate.
