Doesn't it make more sense to pay off student loans in full and building up an emergency fund / building up credit then investing in an IRA after the debt is paid off? I'll be making contributions to a 401k to max out what I can get matched by my employer, but that will be about it outside of savings until I have no student loans (which are quite a lot of $$$). That's the current plan, throw a ton of the money I'll be making at my student loan debt to try and pay it off in 5 years, then aggressively pursue retirement fund options. Maybe it's not a good one?
