J,

I agree with HDPM here. Sure, maybe you can average a couple of points more on your 35k by investing. Not really a significant amount of money. On the other hand, to be able to not carry any debt, man I love that flexibility. For me it's a no-brainer, pay off the loans.

Just a small point. A loan at 3% is technically free money, you're simply paying inflation.

I'm pretty biased since I had one of my larger investments make an average of 14% or so for the last 5 years.
