From what I have seen, very few people prioritize paying off their student loans. But in any case, I would expect that the net worth of most in the 18-35 age bracket is negative, except maybe for those people in their late 20s that haven't yet bought a home and are still saving up for a down payment. On the front end, you have student loan debt, plus they haven't worked long enough to generate any savings, while on the back end, they might have some 401k savings invested, but they would have mortgages with little equity that would dominate the calculation.
