<prompt> Human: Background: I will be graduating in a few months and I have roughly around 39k in student loans at a super high interest rate of 8. At the same time, I dont want to live at home and want to move closer to my job in the city. Is it better to aggressively pay off my student loans and stay with my parents or would it be okay to live in the city? My income will be 38k net when I start working. My other thought on this is is that if I pay then off as fast as possible, not only does that tell the high interest rate to fuck off, but after 2-3 years Ill hopefully have a higher paying job and have a lot more money overall. Side note: I can still get downtown from my parents house but at the same time living there is a different experience.  <response>: Pay off loans aggressively and then have fun after that. Youll be able to have 8 more fun, compounded annually
