FINALLY PAID OFF MY LOANS! (65K) I feel so free and relieved. There was nothing more satisfying than making that last payment! Guess now we're on to the next one.... mortgage!! Hahaha. It never ends does it? What did you all focus on when you were done paying off your loans?

I did it in the same order. Finish off student loans, and then on to looking for a house I want to buy. The only two payments I have as of now are mt mortgage and my car.

Good for you! Can't wait to be able to say that for myself. Good to know it feels this good.

I think a lot about that day when I can finally make my last payment. Still really, really far off, so I haven’t thought a lot about what to focus on after that. I guess too I’m not really putting anything off either, whatever makes sense financially and doesn't stretch me too thin.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
