<prompt> Human: If anything, Ive always seen - if I could do my first 5 years again..., etc. My fiancé and I will have about 25k in student loans, and will be moving into a reasonably priced area Kansas City where a decent apartment in a decent area is 700 and a good house to start is 200k. We both have good cars. What would you do? How much should go to savings versus paying off loans? House or apartment? Are there any things you wish you had known back when you were where we are?  <response>: isnt it pretty obvious that you start rainy day fundcontribute to 401kthen pay off student loanthen roththen back to 401k or business investing if you want to do something on the sideor save for house purchase?
