$230k - and I only borrowed $118k. The student loan system is a scam.

215k they'll get it when they get it.

130k. I know numerous people with 350+ and increasing rapidly whenever interest comes back around

Worth noting mine started at 220k. 130 is where it is after a few years of payments

90k with interest

31k. Hopefully I can pay it off within a few years. I don’t know if you have kids, what your salary is, etc., but 52k seems manageable so I wouldn’t worry. Good luck!

Better than me- I’m at 70k😫😫😫

Oof I feel for you. On the plus side, this post made me feel a lot better about my 27k that is yet to be paid off. I always feel weirdly guilty even though I know I'm supposed to still have debt, that was always the plan (paying it off I mean).

$55k including interest. Luckily my job is currently paying for my doctorate so that number won’t increase anymore.

I started at $52k back when I graduated. I consolidated my private loans and got down to $19k left in public loans within 6 years. Currently sitting on enough cash to pay off the balance once payments restart (if forgiveness does not go through). It sucks but it’s doable OP. Good luck.

Hmm 200k. Didn’t pass the bar. I’m screwed. 😢

I love my kid so much. He was with me throughout all of elementary but has been at the middle school for the past 3 years. He had only a handful of kids he knew from our elementary. He made all of his new friends on his own. I have been meeting them one by one and am sooooo impressed with their character, manners, interests, and grades. He chose his friends wisely! Anyone else experience this?

Home office revamp recommendations:
1. Autonomous standing desk: honestly the best desk ever! Order arrived in 3 days, even better quality than I imagined. I got the L shape one, fits 3 monitors and a laptop comfortably on one side. Now I stand while taking calls. I wish I had it last year during busy season. Oh I have a promo code if anyone is interested: R- 200les
2. Steelcase gesture office chair: same chair as PwC office.

I used to pay $99 a year for Hootsuite all of the sudden they auto billed me $588 for the same pro plan. They sent me an email stating I was getting a lot of features they had upgraded through the years and had to raise the price. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you find another source to use instead of Hootsuite? Are they fair in pricing?

SOFI or who else?

If you didn't have to pay off any more of your student loans what would you use the money for instead? I'm stuck between something impractical like a trip somewhere or something I need like a new car lol

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

Has anyone successfully refinanced a non-US student loan (e.g. from Prodigy Finance) in the US? Which company did you use?

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???

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?

Today, I officially have enough money to pay off the entire balance of my student loans. Won’t pull the trigger until SCOTUS issues a decision, but having the ability to do so is such a weight off my shoulders that I had to tell someone.
