Deciding between paying off car loan and reducing investing

I'm considering paying off our car loan with savings to free up cash flow for our new kid, but I'm hesitant to stop investing in our retirement accounts

What I wish I knew
"How to balance short-term savings goals with long-term investing"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your personal financial goals and priorities when making decisions about saving and investing"
