<prompt> Human: Im 24 years old, making around 38k a year at my first real job, just trying to make sure that Im doing what I should be doing with my money. Heres some basic info on my current financial situation: Checking account: 7,250 Savings Betterment Digit: 4,150Income per month: 2,500Regular monthly expenses Apartment: 750month includes utilities Student loans: 424month between 3 loans, total is currently 17,000Those are my only major expenses each month. No car payment, no phone or internet bills, no credit card debt, insurance is around 200 per year, but spread out. Groceries are around 50week. I spend probably 200-300 on eating out, entertainment, social activities each month. Small amount on gas per month. My main question is if Im paying aggressively enough on my student loans, but Im open to any other financial advice. Also, Im somewhat tempted to buy a car - does that make sense? I currently have an old Volvo that is paid off and running mostly fine but I fear it will soon die. Thanks for any advice!Assistant: Any reason youre not throwing a good chunk of the money in your checking account to your loans? Your expenses arent that high so your savings is enough for now as an e-fund.Human: In theory I like the idea... its just the least exciting way to spend money!  <response>: Welcome to adulthood. That feeling never gets better, you just learn to analyze situations better. I got a decent chunk of cash from selling my old house. Still hurts to pull the trigger on paying off my car. Its nice to look and see all of those numbers. Keeping it in the bank wont make you wealthy...It just increases the chances of you making rash decisions because you can afford them
