Paying off student debt vs. starting my REI journey

[Evan Dieffenbach]

Hello all

I am currently at a fork in the road! I unfortunately was very uninformed/uneducated when I made some decisions in terms of college. Because of that, I now am in 80k of student debt. I know this is asked often, but should I go dave ramsey style and take the next three or four years putting everything i make on paying off the dept or use the nice chunk of money (15k) should have saved up by this summer to invest in OOS (currently live in north jersey). I know what I want to do, but i also know that might not be the best financial choice. Trying to get financially smarter day by day!

P.s. might have interested partner in matching my 15k for this summer if I decide to go that route.
