First, sorry if I am not posting this in the correct category.

But, I have 20,000 dollars in my savings but 17,000 in student loans.

Need a little advice, do you guys think it would be best to continue to make the 160 dollar a month payments while investing my 20,000 into a business.

Or should I pay it off and be left with 3000? My financial situation is not terrible at all, I have a !> JOB <! yes, I hate it. And that student loan and my cell phone bill are the only bills I have.

I have some really great business ideas as well but I just would like to know what you guys think my best choice would be.
