Is it better to invest money or pay off student loans?
I make around 30k and my loan is currently 18k at 7.5% (private loan) I don't know that I can make 7.5% in the market but I do want to start my investment portfolio as soon as possible.

I would like to be completely debt free but I also wonder if putting all of my extra money into a student loan is wise. Please keep in mind I have an emergency fund that will not be used in either case

Thank you

Zach, I've done something in my life that has worked great,and affords you an investment option with NO risk! Always pay your credit debt, as soon as you can..7,5% while not a large interest rate, to try and exceed it in the markert, especially at this time, could cost you more than what you wish to acheive.. Here it is,,A traditional IRA. Why? You invest 2 k per year, all at once is best, or if you have to,,in incriments..Go to several banks and get their best rate,on an IRA 18mon or 3yr, depending how good the rate is..Rates are important, but in this instance, not the governing factor..Once the IRA money in invested, the amount put in that year, is a total write off deduction..Meaning, if its2k you write off 2k from your tax return,,and say your tax bracket is 25% that means you''ll receive a $500.00 refund on that 2k investment itself.. Then you can apply that refund, to pay on your student loan.. AND the 2k is still invested for you gaining interest, at the full 2k.. Win Win!! Not a big deal, but with it, you accomplish both of your goals.. But your prime concern should be ending you loans.. Then you can branch into Roth IRA's , stocks, bonds,mutuals ,and whatever..Even if you got 7.5% in the markets, by the time you pay taxes, and brokerage fees, and management costs, Your below the percentage you started with.. Plus you have to make sure you don't LOSE in the markets..Your choice, but this is a success program that lets you do both, with NO risk and a positive result!! Your choice!! And all your IRA monies is NEVER taxed until you withdraw it hopefully in retirement, when your in a very low tax bracket.. There are penalties for early withdraw, however, you just forget about that money, and use it as a retirement funds..Because it grows tax free till you take it out. GREAT DEAL!! Best of Luck!

Mr. Luva Luva
If you can make 7.5% in the market, then I would not pay off the college loans right away. The reason is that you can write off student loan interest on your taxes and it is a BIG write-off.

If I were you, I wouldn't pay the entire loan off. I would pay an extra $100 per month to pay to cut down the principle earlier. You will shorten the life of the loan, you will cut down on the total interest you pay over the loan and you will still be able to write off the student loan interest on your taxes.


Cindy
Student loans tend to be at a fairly low rate. As long as you can make those payments regularly, I would recommend investing money elsewhere . There is not a lot of benefit to be found for paying off student loans early.


Ted
You sound like you have your act together.

Pay off the loan unless you have something else in mind that will produce more than 7.5%.

I suggest you to invest.

Any decent mutual fund will return at least 15% annually and I know a company currently offering at least 25% without any risk.

I had the same problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, but didn't knew where to invest it.
So I looked around for something that gave me a great return towards a low risk.
And the only thing I could find was a mannaged account.
