Hey /r/personalfinance!
I have a full-time career making $42k pre-bonus (up to $20k but usually ~$5-10k), while also playing poker on the side. Due to my poker income, I need to keep ~$5k liquidated at all times.
I have $30k in checking with $9,883 left in student loan debts at a 3.4% interest rate. That's my only debt. I want to keep $2k extra liquidated for living expenses. Should I pay my student loans off now and where should I invest/put the extra $13k so it's not just sitting in a checking account?
I'm incredibly new to this since most of my money came from poker and I feel like I'm missing a lot of value.
Thank you so much for your input!
