Get your budget in order and then, yes, pay…. but… at least with federal student loans, the interest rate is relatively low on them (potentially lower if you consolidate) and if you have higher interest rate debt, like credit cards, pay those down first while making minimum student loan payments. Consolidating will lock in your interest rate so that it doesn’t go up while you take care of the highest interest rate debt.
