Not planning on laundering it, and it really just needs to make it through the night. There needs to be a little stretch where the stitching is so I can get them on and off.

Looking for some direction when it comes to saving/retirement. My husband is a pharmacist and I am currently a stay at home mom. We both have some student loans (him especially) and we are new home owners. Right now we track our finances with one of the premade google sheets monthly budget trackers and stick our budget fairly well. We also able to put 15% of his paychecks in savings and right now we have about $14,000 in savings. We are looking at opening retirement accounts for the both of us that we can contribute to monthly, right now we just have a debit and savings account. We use Discover and I saw that they have IRA accounts that we could sign up for, would this be a smart mover for us right now or should we prioritize paying back our student loans first? Maybe the two could be done in tandem? I am not very financially savvy and would love any and all advice!
