<prompt> Human: I am a student in Canada and have some left over money from student loans. I have received bursaries and grants that have helped pay for school so my student debt isnt massive 15k. I have a year until I have to start paying back my loans. What are some things that I should know about investing what are some markets I should look into investing in.  <response>: Paying off your student loan debt is a guaranteed return on investment and means you pay less in interest, which is better than anything the market is going to give you.
