It's time to fix it!

First of all…pahahaha. I love posts like this. They make me smile and I have a certain level of respect for them as well - they give me a warm feeling inside.
But in order to honor my duty to add to the conversation considering my non-moderated status…my student loan advice is to pay them off as soon as possible - just because you’ll feel better when you do.

I agree with Nathan that any debt should be paid off as quickly as possible; however, student loans tend to carry a lower interest rate, so my advice: pay off the higher interest rate credit cards, car notes and house notes first. Plus, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for your student loans. It may take 20 years, but they will be paid off. I know, at least for me, that it seems like my credit card debt might never go away.
