McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Hiiii! I’ve been at my job for a year and a couple of months now & I’ve gotten rather bored because the work is repetitive, not challenging, and hasn’t really allowed me to learn or grow as much as I would’ve liked to. Given how I’m still paying a ton of money for my postgrad in Business Comms (that I haven’t really gotten the chance to use), I’ve been thinking of entering the world of consulting. Any word of advice? PwC McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group KPMG

As a first generation college graduate & someone who helped support her parents & supported herself since a very young age, i am not comfortable with any debt. I paid off my car and student loans asap, despite their low interest rates. It helped me sleep better at night and then i was able to comfortably save for a house down payment & retirement etc without those budget line items.
This has its place too. There’s something to be said for the ability to lean down and leave on a shoestring budget with no debt as well.
There's a small chance the Biden Administration does some sort of loan forgiveness for fed loans. I'd wait a few months and see how it plays out, even if it's unlikely.
I wouldn’t say it’s “good debt,” but if the interest rate is in the 2%-3% range, you can likely put your money to better use by investing instead of paying off the loan. At 5% it’s probably up to you and what kind of return you can get on your money.
