<prompt> Human: I have recently come into possession of a Wells Fargo Brokerage Account started in my name. Its a standard brokerage account that is conservative on risk. It is currently worth a little over 15k.At the same time, I have approximately 18k in student loans in the following:1. 2,686.85 6.552. 1,695.23 6.553. 2,721.55 6.554. 4,101.29 5.755. 3,300.45 6.556. 3,584.34 6.55Now, I understand the value of investments, and once I get on my feet, Id love to invest. However, I dont feel comfortable holding 15k in investments with 18k of student loan debt. I also have relocation expenses in my near future and about 1k in my bank account, which is not good.My question is: what is the best way to pay off these loans using my investments? What kind of dollar amounts would you put into my bank account and throw at the loans? Im going into Wells Fargo to talk to somebody regarding costs of liquidation, but I would appreciate it if somebody else had ideas on that dollar amounts there. Id also like some advice on taxes - I know I will likely have to pay them on the balance of the account or on what I make, but I do not know what that will look like.tl;dr: Like to liquidate my brokerage to pay my loans. Good idea? If so, how should I do it?  <response>: If youre going to fully liquidate youre 15k brokerage account, I would keep 5k in your bank account for moving expenses and a temporary emergency fund and throw 10k at loans 1,2,3, and 5 in that order.Is it a good idea? Id personally say yes because a guaranteed 6.55 return on your investment is pretty damn good.
