Stop paying off the student loans. You are wrecking your QoL for a hope at a house you'll never actually be able to buy. They'll ding your credit every so often but you get to actually live life. It's worth it.

    I don’t know, I struggle with this advice. On the one hand, in the grand scheme of things you’re probably right. On the other hand, I have a hard time knee-capping my future self with bad credit, which would seriously limit my ability to get any kind of loan. That’s kind of what my pre-college self did by saddling myself with all this debt. It wouldn’t be small dings, it would completely wreck my credit.
