I did some calculating today and I will pay off my student loans in four years at my current rate of payment. I could reduce that time to three years but it would mean not funding my retirement accounts at all for those three years. What would be the best decision here?
I still owe $69,000 in student loans from Direct Loans. It used to be much higher because I used student loans to pay for about 85% of my entire college and graduate school years (including living expenses).
