I’m going to have a pretty cheap living situation and definitely could afford to pay 2k a month, which would pay off these loans in like 4 years. Is that always the way to go?

I could also pay $900 a month and pay them off in ten years, which would mean paying about $30,000 more in interest. But that way I would have better savings and retirement contributions early on.
