I was in a similar situation. I started to pay extra each month. I did that for a few years and when I had the loan down below 5 grand, I paid it off. That gave me a little leeway on savings and being comfortable with shoving extra towards the loan.

It was a fantastic feeling getting rid of it. It was my last debt before I retired. 😊

It just made the most sense for me in my situation. I had a little less in reachable savings than you and was putting 30% in my 401k. It sounds like you're on top of things. You'll make the right decision. Good luck!
