Save for retirement or pay off student loans — which to choose?
For many young professionals, student loan repayment and saving for the future feel like opposing financial forces. On one hand, there’s the pressure to aggressively pay down debt. On the other, there is the desire — and need — to build a stable financial foundation for the future: emergency funds, retirement savings, buying a home, and more. The good news? You don’t have to choose one or the other. With the right strategy, you can make progress on both fronts.
