I have a ton of student loans - how should I balance saving with paying off the loans? Does it make sense to save much less and pay much more, save nothing and pay my loans aggressively, or save a great deal and pay my loans conservatively?

You should always be saving. However, in my opinion I would work to pay off my student loans in a shorter amount of time. Otherwise, you end up paying a lot more than the original loan. Once your loans are paid off, you will probably have a good deal of money more to save.

It depends on the interest rate. If it is low (3 to 4 percent range), don't worry about it too much. You can get a better return investing. You don't want to tie up your cash flow paying off low-interest loans.

Right. Don't focus all of your available cash flow on paying them off. Be sure to be making your maximum IRA and 401K contributions before looking at student loans.

I think you should save your money and pay off the loans conservatively...however that would only be true if the interest rate wasn't of a raping rate lol...what's the interest rate like?

Which country are you from?
