Live with a roommate, cut down on eating out and drinking out at bars, only buy necessities. I’ve paid off close to 60k in about four years. Rent is one big expense, try minimizing it! You can do it, all the best!

I graduated with roughly the same amount of student loans as you for my undergrad degree. Def reduce your expenses as much as possible. You will thank yourself later once it’s all paid off. I paid off mine in roughly 2 years so it’s possible, but you have to be disciplined and in the right mindset. You can do it though so believe that.

Refinance. Get lower interest rates immediately. Every time you make a decent raise looking into refinancing again for a lower rate. If you’re able to make more than the monthly payment do it, and make sure you tell the loan servicer you want the second payment going only towards principal.

Not judging but was this a 2 year program? And did you take out loans to support living expenses too?

And still worked

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path.

Today marks a year since my best friend’s death. We actually hadn’t known each other too long bc I met him at work. Maybe 5 years but we connected so well. He died from a fatal accident last year. He had so much ahead of him. I miss him a lot today because I got a job offer from a company I told him that I wanted to work for, when he was alive. And I can only say this but I also had a secret crush on him. (Continued)

I’m the person who tells people it’s okay to open up at work about mental health issues, and that it’s okay to talk about it. I’m also the person who struggles with mental health but will likely not talk about it at work because of the past experiences I’ve had where colleagues brushed it off and told me to let it go/be better. I just don’t want others to not have anyone to talk to… but maybe it’s really me who doesn’t have anyone to talk to…
