<prompt> Human: I just began working full time out of college 68k. Im not very finance savy but I would like to learn. I have about 35k in student loans and I was wondering if its a good idea to dedicate a good chunk of my income plus the amount I wouldve been putting into the 401k to pay off the student loans. So basically I would be contributing to my 401k later but I would get rid of my student loans earlier so the interest doesnt build too much.  <response>: 401k up to match then loans. If no match I would do all loans first.
