<prompt> Human: A little background: Since 2014 Ive paid off 37,000 principal and 9,200 interest on my student loans. My remaining balance is 9,435 and the average interest rate on my loans is 4.67. I have around 9,000 in my checking account and 6,500 in my savings. I dont have a car payment and my rent is 700 a month. I get paid 1,500 every two weeks. Ive been toying with the idea of completely paying it off right now, but I want to see if there are any smarter options. Like should I take a portion of my checking account balance and invest somewhere while I continue to pay off the loans? Or should I just take care of the whole thing now and then put the remaining money somewhere else?Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!  <response>: Pay it off now and get it off your back. At least thats what I would do!
