I received a confirmation letter today from one of the banks i received a loan from stating that my loan has been paid in full. I still have many more unfortunately but it still felt good to cross one fully off the list. 1 month ago

Student loan repayments are one of the least interesting parts of my life, but eliminating that debt from my life is important so I can fix my credit and be free and unburdened in the future.
I started a repayment plan and I’ve made 3 monthly payments so far,
so now I just have to keep up those payments and be consistent.
Boring, but this is a necessary part of being a grownup. 2 months ago

This is a LONG way off. I am a less-than-half-time student right now, so my lender is starting to ask for money again. The total is staggering. It’ll all go into deferment again when I enter my doc program, but I’m making some payments for now. Other than that, I’m probably going to amass some more interest to repay for the four (or so) years I’m in the PhD program—and hopefully land a great job when I graduate so paying the loans back won’t be quite as dreadfully painful as it would be on my current low-level school district employee salary. 2 months ago

See budget. Stick to budget. Student Loans are holding us and our LIFE back. Time to really START chopping at this ball and chain. 4 months ago

I guess I should have a sense of humor about getting duped into taking out student loans. I have paid 50% of them in 18 months. So it might be safe to say I’m done in May ‘14. I send in quadruple payments. It really helps to pay the s—- out of them. Less interest paid over time. 6 months ago
