<prompt> Human: So I recently graduated college with a 4 year degree. I always worked through high school and college, not making much, but saved most of it and put it towards school. I have a couple more months until I have to start making loan payments. I have about 25k in loans. Im not sure of the interest rate but its around 6Right after graduation I got a full time job that offers a matching 401K. I opted out of it for now. I also work another part time job that I use for spending money, and put just about my whole full time check straight in the bank. I live with my parents and have almost no expenses car insurance and phone.So my question is, should I put my money straight into my loans to pay off as quickly as possible, or start putting money towards 401K and other investments?  <response>: Both, contribute to your 401k enough to get the full match, throw everything else at the student loans until they are gone.
