Hi everyone,
Here we go, not this again you might think, but it's not a drastic situation but more a question of how can I resolve my debt with a well considered financial decision.
I have a similar question as "arfadugus" in the thead below but i didnt want to hijack it.
You tell me what to do. Need advice.
I dont know how to evaluate my situation to make a sound financial decision. (I dont think i'll be a fastlaner that soon)
I have a 5 figure college debt with (only) 0.12% interest. I have been paying it off @ 160 a month with the income of my 40hr /wk Job.
My parents offered to pay off the debt at once and that I pay them monthly instead of the lender.
And everything I pay back I can lend another time (only for things like housing or furniture when I move out)
So I have these options as far as I can think:
I really cant figure out how to compare these to situations and decide what's financially the wisest choice..
can anyone help?

So I have these options as far as I can think:
- I can pay off the debt with 160 a month (maybe more after a raise) until I buy a house or move out (then the loan is a heavy cut on your mortgage here) and use the excess amount that my parents offer to buy furniture / additional expenses.
- I can let my parents pay off the debt (so that I owe it to them) and pay them 160 a month. When I move out I can use the amount I payed them back to buy furniture or for additional expenses.
I really cant figure out how to compare these to situations and decide what's financially the wisest choice..
can anyone help?
