To buy or to payoff debt?

[Dominic Conway]

Hello,

I’m 31 and weighing my options on whether to buy or wait until I pay off my debts. I have 2 loans totaling to $20k. I make $90k 
a year and have saved enough for a 3% down payment on a home under $300k. The monthly payment on both loans combined cost me $600 a month. I feel like at my age if I can buy something I should but I also know the power of being debt free. Any suggestions or encouragement?
