Just accepted my first offer at B4. It’s my first year out of undergrad. TC is around 95k. I have around 70k in student loans and around 25k in stocks & crypto.

Job is remote (for now at least), so I’ll still be living rent free at my mama’s house for at least another year.

How should I attack my student loans? Should I just save up & pay it all in one check? Should I wait for Biden to forgive anything? How would you go about it?

I wouldn’t rely on Biden to help a 3rd grader with their math homework, let alone to forgive your student loans 😂

funny

Agree your loans won’t be forgiven. Pay them back and free yourself

Student loans are usually very low interest rates. Pay off higher rates first. Then invest (avg. market return is 7%). Then pay off student loans. (~4-6% interest rate). Obviously make your minimum monthly payments on time every month.

Google is obviously a better brand than my other offer, but I’m not sure if that is enough to make it worth it.
