<prompt> Human: Edit: Why was this downvoted? I have a total of about 17k in the bank, now. I think my fiancée said she has 2.7.I have two credit cards one limited to 1k, the other limited to 6k. Im up to date on payments. The wedding is going to be small 150 guests, and will take place next September. Any budget advice would be great. My fiancée and I one or both will be needing a new car sometime in the next 2-3 years. I have roughly 9k in student loans. Im not sure how much my fiancée has. The engagement ring still has about 3k left till its paid off interest free, for 1 year; 300 a month for 12 months. My fiancée still has 1 year of college left and might need to take out loans for her last semester. She is in the air force, so they are paying for most of her education. We are still not sure where were gonna live. So no idea about buyingrenting a house. My current job pays well and has excellent benefits. 17.04hr, plus an annual bonus, and a 3 raise each year of employment. I live in SC, my fiancée lives in NC, and is attending college in NC. Need any more info?  <response>: Id personally go for those student loans, current and future. You can always make more money, but debt is not a nice thing to have hanging around.
