But if you were to consider other avenues of thought, consider this version revised for the layman:
LETS JUST SAY THAT:
Your student loan is 4%, You have an investment that yields 8% (I know there are some people who have no clue how to yield 8% but that's neither here nor there, this is an example)
Here are your options: pay of the student loan right now, then save up the capitol for investing later.
Or, invest and yield the 8%, make the 4% payments to your student loan and pocket the other 4%. Do both at once, pay off the loan and invest. Make your money work; don't work to make your money. It's simple math is all.
