I just went on my loan's website and looked at the options. It's taking them forever to accept my current plan I've selected. Still waiting on a response.

I'm wondering more about choosing where to get the loan in the first place rather than repayment options!

DON’T DO IT! Stay away from student loans.☠️

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???
