Hi all,

My wife and I are both employed earning a pretty modest salary (I'm earning ~$45-50k a year, she earns about ~$20k). We currently have about $77k in combined student loan debt (about $6k at 7% interest, $30k at 6.25%, $26k at 4.25%, and a few other private loans at lower interest rates). 

I'm paying all of the loans at a standard repayment plan at the moment, while throwing a couple hundred extra bucks a month at the highest interest rate loan (about $1100 a month for all loans). We're earning just enough besides that for a 1 bedroom apartment, about $250/mo for groceries, $300 for utilities and car insurance, and a modest amount for entertainment and other expenses.

I've got about $15,000 saved right now, and I'm considering what to do with it. The first option, of course, is to throw it all at the student loans. However, my wife and I would love to buy a house sooner than later, so I'd love to be on our way towards the goal of a down payment. I'd also be worried about not having an emergency fund. I've been considering the ideas of investing it into a CD or other investment opportunities until we are out of student loan debt (hopefully by another 5 years... sigh... ).

Should I forget the down payment on the house goal and just throw everything I earn towards the loans? Or continue to save while paying the loans simultaneously?
<bot>: $15k saved for house down payment, $77k in school loans. Pay off school loans or invest savings for later?
