i think youd have to find a good balance. if you never invested, but you decided to pay off your debt, then what are you going to do when you retire? you wont have anything to pay off, but youll have nothing to live off of either. so like i said, a good balance is needed. you could make it a priority to pay off your debt, but set aside a portion of your disposable income for investing. my parents always told me growing up to save a portion of my allowance or paychecks when i work and put it in savings, well you could do the same. set aside some of your income for investments.
