I am in my mid twenties and want to get started in investing more. Currently I have about 6000 in student loans. Have a mortgage on my own home and have no other debt. I started a small Roth IRA investment a few years ago, plus have some CD's. My current employer does not have any options for 401K or retirement savings.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should start investing my money? Should I pay off my student loans first and then invest? Any suggestions would greatly be helpful. I want to have some liquid funds for short term but my main concern is long term for retirement.
I’ve been looking into dealsjamaica and ameritrade so no info needed on them
Thank you!!

I would weigh your student loan interest rate against the expected rate of return on your investment. If the investment rate is higher than your loan rate then you should invest and vice versa. Be sure not to leave yourself without the ability to pay your loans on time.
