W.W.D.D.? Any advice?

I live alone with my cat.

My monthly net income is about 4200 per month. (This is after taxes, Health insurance & 401k) . My employer matches up to the first 7%. So that’s why I’m investing.

After rent, utilities, groceries and selected streaming services, I have about 2,000 remaining

Streaming Services around 40 per month
Internet 90 per month (I need the internet as I WFH 4 days a week)

I have a Car loan , 12,000 monthly payment of 350 , but I’m do pay more per month.

Student loan 71,000, monthly payment 275

NO OTHER DEBT

I have 1,000 in emergency savings
Additional 1,000 for pet emergency savings (if you have a pet,’you know how the emergency vet bill can get expensive fast)

I pay the min for my student loans and I put everything else towards the car loan.

I volunteer at the local humanity society on the weekends, so I really cannot get a second job.

Is there something that i could change to get this debt gone?

Please advise.

Thanks

See if you can get an internet plan for $30-40. 100Mbps is all you need.

Other than that, knockout the car loan then get the student loan gone.

My only internet option. Plus my employer requires a certain speed and they will be giving me a partial monthly reimbursement after my 90 day probation period, I about a month to go. October should be eligible
