Got 20,00 for a student loan, used less than expected, what to do with remainder?

[LiquidClen 10+ year member]

I took out 20k anticipating it to only last 2 semesters worth of tuition. I ended up getting some grants and other monies, and so I have about $6700 left of the loan. I can either

a) use it for living expenses [still probably have a ton left over]

b) invest it [if so, what?]

c) save it for future tuition [boring]

d) other

What say you CA.com?

Living expenses so that you can spend the money you make in other ways on shit you want.

You have to pay it back sooner or later. Do what you will with that.

I would just pay that back now. Less you'll have to pay later. Unless you can find a way to invest that earns more interest than that extra 6700 would accrue

i say put it toward further education, and by that i mean life education gained by world travel. Go to Asia or Europe for your winter break.

Seriously, world travel ftw.

I'll be in at least 5 countries and on two continents (maybe three) in about the next two weeks.

Lmao @ team of strippers.

Or just put it into a 5 year CD and come out with the money plus some interest so you can pay it back and enjoy the interest.
