Default Re: Invest or pay off student loans?

I guess earning a 5%+ is fairly realistic long-term .... i just dont want to be caught on a downswing in the market when i go to buy.

If you do your homework, you should be able to realistically easily beat 5% long term.

At 27, you also shouldn't be so worried about inevitable downswings in the market.

If you really want to turn investing into another stream of income, you could also do some reading on how to profit from those market downswings.
