    What to do with $250k earmarked for student loans?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:00 AM PST

    I posted this in /r/personalfinance but I'm curious if anyone in this community is in a similar situation. I would like to thank this subreddit for being a giant resource over the past few years!

    I have significant student loan debt and recently exercised company stock options, with the goal to pay off the debt after COVID forbearance ends.

    Summary:

    -$170,000 in federal student loans

    -$250,000 in checking account ($220,000 from the company stock I just sold. I'll save $100k of this for tax purposes to be paid in early 2021.)

    -$40,000 currently invested in stock market

    -no credit card/car/other debt; currently renting an apartment

    Is there anything I should do with the money currently in my checking account, especially if COVID forbearance is extended beyond January 2021?

    When loan interest starts again, I plan to pay ~$145,000 toward the loans and keep $25,000 low interest loans in case of any loan forgiveness in the next year.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
