I finally paid off the last of my student loans 2 months ago. It took me 9 years but I did it! The joy was quickly replaced with the realization that the money would not be going towards anything but other bills. U-S-A U-S-A! If I wasn't afraid of being called crazy I would be more willing to share my conspiracy theory about how the government and the private sector are in cahoots to put 18-22 year olds in massive debt so they will be less willing to move around and quit the low paying jobs we hate. Hey, finally out of college debt? Time to buy a house! Its the American Dream! American Dream is a euphemism for soul crushing debt btw.

Why do we go to college for such high rates that the debt we go into costs so much that we might be able to make more money performing less skilled work, where we at least don't have the debt hanging over us the rest of our lives?

Why not skip the college and get some blue-collar job, where, after some on-the-job training, someone can become the skilled laborer that company needs? Like welding or something?

They were in their late 40's. I was in high school.

Why do you have a massive expensive cigar then a bottle of the cheapest blended scotch money can buy?

At least go for a nice single malt quater cask laphroaig. It's worth the extra ~£10 or so trust me

playaplayadog · 2 months

Lol. What were his loans 10k? He looks young. If you honestly haven't got 50k - 150k in debt (and a degree in something other than a super high paying job like engineerinng or doctor or lawyer) then I don't want to hear about what you paid off because its nothing compared to being that much in debt with a degree that pays a low 5 figs...smh

mikeno1 · 2 months

Due to some serious issues I was having I missed up my first semester but aced the second. As a result I now have to go back as a part-time student to complete the first semester since I did not tell anyone of my issues at the time and can't apply for mitigation due to this.

I don't get financial aid as a part-time student (since I'm not English) so now I have to drop out since I can't afford to pay the new fees here in the United kingdom.

My household income is too high for a grant but too low to pay the fees, I have one year of loans to repay and nothing to show for the year.

Moral of the story? If you are having problems tell someone, or next thing you know your chances of getting a degree may be over, much like mine.

My wife and I paid ours off this year! Graduated with a BS in 2007 and she graduated with a MS in 2009. A basic tip like any other loans is to just pay as much as you can. You'd be surprised at how fast the loan falls and it begins to build motivation to save and get those loans paid off. We have 0 debt other than a 15 year mortgage which we are trying to get paid off in 10. We are both 27 years old. Good luck!

patrickpdk · 2 months

To all those who might be paying off their student loans: always consider the "Real Interest Rate". The real interest rate is the inflation adjusted interest rate. Many student loans are at such a low interest rate that you should pay it off as slowly as possible.

Also consider that when you first graduate you are making very little money compared to your future income and you are at a point where you need cash badly, so using your cashflow for other things and deferring your loan payments some can be best.

My parents paid most of my school. The part I paid was paid off 2 years ago. I have the money in the bank now that would've gone to paying for everything my parents spent to put me through school. I can't be that unusual....

After leaving college I was hired as a Consultant making a pretty good salary. I had 50k in loans. It has been a little over 2 years and I've cut that number in half. How? I paid more than the minimum and didn't take nice vacations or buy a new car.

If you didn't get a job out of college, I can understand; however, loans are manageable if you know anything about how to do personal finance. Google how to make a budget.
