In a perfect world how much would you want to make a year to both pay off your loans and live a good life? I think I'd need to make upwards of $200k to pay off my loans, take care of my family and live a fulfilling life.

Probably 140-160k. I don't have a family or a mortgage, and I have a fair amount of my loans paid down right now. If they didn't un-pause and I worked 5 years with that salary I think I could pay it down before I start a family. Now I just need to make that salary 😭🤣

I’m 220k in debt from student loans. Making 250k isn’t even enough when you live a high cost of living area 🥲. I’d take 400k

Hi Sharks,

I have got CapG offer and was abt to join by 12th Sept.
But my onboarding has been postponed due to BGV pending.

Actually, we had our ancestors property which we gave it for development in 2013 to a local vendor but in 2017 from nowhere an unknown and non local person came and filed a false acquisition in court stating it's there property.

After vendor replying to it, none from opposition came to court for atleast one hearing from past few yrs. And the case is still pending.

It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.

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???

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 ?

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?
