<prompt> Human: I am trying to avalanche my student loan debt. Should I throw an extra 1k a month at a loan that is 10,675 at 8.5 or should I put it towards a loan that is currently at 19,147 at 7.9?My understanding is always put extra money towards the highest interest rate - but over the coarse of a year, the larger loan will accumulate more interest. Help?  <response>: 10,675 at 8.5 first.Its both the highest interest, and the smallest balance.
