Good question? Vote for this

I will be getting a little bit of money soon and would like to know if it would be better to pay off my student loans and refinancing my car to save money

I have the same question.  I assume your creit score will look better becuase your overall debt will be decreased. If you are looking into overall cost savings, use the free financial tools online to see how much you would save by paying off your loan vs. refinancing.

Don't forget you get tax breaks for your student loans, but not your car loans.
