Depends on the situation, but yes, in general. For example, if I had $3000 left on my car, and had $8000 in cash, yes I'd pay it off in full.



Lets say ive got 15k left on a student loan and 16k in the bank...

I personally wouldn't...I just don't feel good about only having $1k. But I wouldn't fault someone for doing it.

Interest rate on loans?

I wouldn't pay it all off. You can likely use that money to earn larger returns in investments. Especially if you have a low interest rate. However if it was 8% or higher I would probably pay most of it off.

If I was in your situation, I would just put large payments each month towards your loans and invest a good chunk of that 15k, unless it's your emergency fund.
