<prompt> Human: Doing my best to follow the prime directive and making some good career moves Ive been able to crush 40k worth of student loan debt to about 5.8k over the course of 2 years. Right now Im wondering if I should deviate from the prime directive and not prioritize my debt.At 5.8k I have a 6.55 interest rate. My plan for a while has been to dump about 1.2k a month into my debt payment. Thatd get me paid off around September. At this rate Id be paying 92 interest on my remaining balance.However, I am wondering now if it makes more sense to me to only pay the minimum 140mo on my loans and put the remaining 1K a month I normally spent on debt towards my Roth IRA instead until I max out for the year?From what I can tell this will cost me an extra 100-150 bucks in interest, but it makes more sense to max out my Roth IRA for the year. Does that logic seem sound to you kind folks? Edit: Im 32 btw.  <response>: You have until April to figure this out. I would reevaluate at the end of the year, and keep crushing that debt.
