The best savings account these days is probably 4% tops, so the amount saved between putting money there vs paying off the student loans is like $20 a month. I think the peace of mind of not having that debt over your head is worth $20 a month to most people, but it’s not wrong either way. There’s also the reality that most people will SAY they’re going to pay the minimum and invest the rest, but in reality they pay the minimum and spend the rest. Paying down debt is irrevocable forced savings.

Bend is beautiful but a little too isolated. How much of your dissatisfaction do you think is due to that aspect? Vs living somewhere in the Portland area, for example, where you still have decent access to the outdoor activities but also more people / other things to do.
