OP, I'll tell you how - don't live-up to your paycheck, double your monthly payments, and take half your bonus (even the shitty ones) and apply it towards debt and principal. Even with low interest rates, you still owe someone else $$, so eliminate it. I've taken 100k to ~15k in 8 years by doing that.

26, $0, paid off 38K in 2.5 years while living in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Live below your means and pay it down fast. The more you wait the more it grows and the harder it gets.

27 - $80k+, too scared to look at SoFi for the actual balance because it's depressing.

Damn EY1! That's pretty good!! If you don't mind me asking. How did you manage?

26, $8600 left in govt loans and $24k left to repay my mom lol

Deloitte you are on point brother!

.... $153000 for me (MBA), and another $300000 for my wife (vet school)

Oh... I'm 30

P2 what's your plan? I want the MBA but definitely not the loan baggage.

Damn PwcC2! Which school did you go to?

I am guessing P2 went to either Yale or NyU. Yale is notoriously cheap with aid, as is NYU.

Not enough. 65 to 70k starting. I was surprised, given how much vets cost... but i found out it all goes back to their loans!

It includes undergrad loans

31,$0 - paid for my own school.

28, $0, started at $0 🙌🏽

22 just graduated $30,000... Riding out my 6 month grace period 😅

Graduated undergrad with $0. Now 30 and $150k.

Wife and I will be fine. Living well below our means, putting a ton away for retirement and saving for a house down payment, then concentrating on loans. First year out with both of us working - Currently at 235/yr, and should only go up from there. I was nonprofit before this, so much better ROI than not doing MBA.

25, started at 30k finished it in June about 2.5 years of paying about 3x my monthly payment

44 and $0

28... 0. When I graduated I had about $40k in student loans, just decided I didn't want that hanging over me for however long and saved to just get rid of it. It felt so refreshing when I finished paying them off.

28, 100k
