Any knowledge/insight on whether paying off a student loan gives some tax breaks or benefits? It wasn’t super big, but still a loan nonetheless. Thanks in advanced

You get to deduct the interest up to 2500, but nothing specific to the act of paying it off that I know of

You should go out for an “all night binger” with all your friends who have loans. The rest of us are still trying to “row to shore” . I look like Tom Hanks from Castaway.
