Is it wrong to fund retirement and investments while I still have student loan debt?

I have student loan debt with pretty low interest rates (5% and 3% respectively). Is it better to put extra money toward paying off the student loans quicker or putting that extra money into an IRA and/or good mutual funds which would ideally earn a higher interest rates than the loans?
