Okay, so I've heard the arguments for paying off debt first if the interest rate is higher than what you can reasonably expect to make elsewhere. But, I gotta admit, it just doesn't feel right. The student loan is my wife's, and I believe we still have about 20 some years to pay on it if we make the minimum payments. Even if we pay extra on the loan, the earliest we'd be able to pay it off is 10 years. I can't justify waiting 10 years to start investing heavily in other areas while we're paying off the loan. We're not even at the point where we can max out our Roth or 401k (although I am getting the full employer match). Should I at least wait until I'm maxing those out before I start paying extra on the loan?
