Looks like a great community, excited to participate.
I am looking to see if someone can look over the attached image. It contains all of my current student loans (around $32,000 total).
I am on IBR, my regular payments are $109/month, and I pay as much possible as a separate payment first to Group D (somewhere in the range of $400 - $600). I generally am attacking this one then will move on to the next one at 6.5%.
My questions are, is this the right way to go about this to pay my loans off as fast as possible? Is there another creative way you would go about paying down by group? Are there any refinancing options where I could stay on IBR? And is there any sense in starting investing at any point in paying these down. I want to start some index funds but have put that off while I pay these loans down.
I have no other debt besides this, no car payment, so the 2 higher interest groups are the highest interest of any debt I have.
Thanks!
