$251.00. I have about $25k left at 1.8% fixed after graduating 21 years ago. All federal. Payed off the variable private loans that fluctuated between 3-7% over the years about 5 years ago.

They were 2.8% at graduation and then went down a point after paying on time for 5 years. Def helps to graduate at a time with low interest rates!

Slightly more than the minimum. Would rather put my income into savings/investments.

My post is misleading because it’s for med school, not law school. Partner who is a resident (aka, making next to nothing) took out $420k for med school. I had no law school debt. But his grad school debt is our debt.
