should i pay off my 50k of student loans as quickly as possible, or steadily? why?

here's my take on it (and quite a few people might disagree) - student loans aren't bankruptable, so they'll stay with you forever. so if you want to reduce your risk over time and have a funded emergency fund and some cash put aside for, say, a car or another major expense, then i'd try to throw money at the student loan to get rid of it quickly.
