Yeah, I think I am better of paying off the loans now. I’m going to start with the 8.5% ones.

Paying the highest interest rate off first will save you the most money. Regardless of the amounts of the loans.

not always true, any loan that you fully pay off has 0% interest forever after and also allows you to put more money towards other loans.
