<prompt> Human: I have two student loans with an interest rate of less than 4.5 each and a balance of about 9k total. Ive been somewhat aggressive in paying extra on top of the minimum payments until I realized that the interest I am paying are tax deductible. I was thinking about stop paying extra so I can start investing.TL,DR: Title  <response>: It makes no financial sense for you to spend 1 on interest to get 0.25 back on your taxes.
