Invest or Pay Off Debt

February 13, 2018

Timeline:

* 01:14 – My fiancé and I are getting married in December and we are still short $7,000. We make $80,000 per year and our expenses are $1,500 per month including $600 for rent and $500 for a car payment. How can we get the money we need?
* 05:29 – My employer won’t pay overtime and requires us to clock out and work off the clock. Is this legal?
* 09:05 – I currently have $18,000 in savings with an interest rate of 1.5% and $7,000 in the stock market making an average of 5% each year. I also have $13,000 in student loans that have an interest rate of 5%. Should I pay off my debt now or keep the money in the stock market and pay off my loans over time?
