Stop 401k until you get expenses/liabilities in check.

Saving doesn’t just happen. You have to force yourself. Set up direct deposit of 10% of your take home pay to a savings account. That’s about $400/ month.

How much do you owe on SL?

If you don't have it already, make sure you get your emergency fund of three months of expenses set up before you go ham on the loans. That way, you won't be scrambling when your car inevitably breaks down or you get laid off etc. Once you have that minimal amount of emergency fund, then you can go ham on the loans and get them knocked out.
