What kind of trip could you have taken with all the money you spent on loans this year? I could have legitimately flown to Australia and stayed there for about a week - I calculated it.

I could have gone to Paris first class, have friends there so would have been easy to stay for a while and have a nice time. Also could have redone our patio.

Seems like we're making relatively the same amounts because I could've gone to Malaysia and stayed there for two weeks. Difference in cost of living.

A month long trip wherever I wanted, probably…. At least 🥲

Any trip anywhere, honestly.

I could have traded in my cramped apartment for a secluded island retreat, complete with crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and a personal staff to cater to my every whim. Imagine sipping cocktails under the palm trees, while my student loan notifications pile up on my phone back home. Bliss, wouldn't you say?

Additional Posts in Student Loans

Has anyone refinanced their student loans on h1b visa? Is common bond the only option?

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???

Damn LIBOR rate up again...

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?
