Finally, paid off student loan, should I help wife or invest for us instead?

As title says, I have finally paid off my own loan (35 now) should I use the money I would have used for mine to help pay off my wives loan, or should i just invest it for the future us instead? I already survived without this money until now, so I want to do something to add value with it instead of just having an extra amount for crap.

Edit to add more info:

Wife income is less than 40k/yr
Interest rate is 3.2%
Loan remaining amount is upwards of 50k

I built a Senior UX level audit tool, so you can provide better insights at your next product meetings!

I’m a principal UX designer working mostly on enterprise workflows and AI-assisted tooling.

One thing I kept running into was how repetitive early UX reviews can become — especially when reviewing operational interfaces, onboarding flows, dashboards, or internal tools.

So I started building a small side project for myself that analyses screenshots/workflows and generates structured UX audits using AI.

The interesting part for me wasn’t just “find usability issues”, but trying to make the output feel more like:

  • workflow critique
  • cognitive load analysis
  • operational friction review
  • prioritised recommendations
  • interaction confidence issues

rather than generic AI feedback.

It’s still early, but it’s live now:

Would genuinely love feedback from people doing UX/product work:

  • Is this useful?
  • What feels too generic?
  • What kinds of audits would actually help your workflow?
  • Where does AI completely fail at critique?

Happy to share more about how I built it too if people are interested.
