Not having student loans is something for which I thank [Dad for] every single day

Well that, and scholarships and my ability to live frugally, which Dad also taught me.

Yeah I thank my dad all the time for it and will do the same for my kids so they don't end up with these crazy numbers
It's hard to accumulate wealth at 27 with a 1k student loan note...that's a house

My parents did it for me so I'm certainly doing it for my kids.

My interest alone is $1100 month. Won't be making any significant payments on it anytime soon.

No loans for me. Yay Post 9/11!! Thanks, Osama!

Almost done! Problem is, masters starts the 25th. Gonna go right back up!

Paid off all of our loans last september. It was a great, great feeling.

$399. The fact that I can't wrote off ANY frickING INTEREST infuriates me. We should be abe to write off the entire payment, above the line.

That is the truth. We have combined right around 1K per month, and that is on a 30 year payment plan. We are 10 years into it. Neither of us had undergrad debt--that was just law school. I used to tell my parents all the time that I had 5 house notes--the actual house, the student loans, and then the 3 kids daycare expenses. Now that they are in elementary school it is much better, but our parents didn't have to deal with that shite when they were first coming out of school!

Not me, I only pay 240.00 per month, and the interest is 3.5.

Had a roomie who finished with around $200K, after undergrad and Tulane Law School. That's a nice house note, with no house.

$300/month here. I still have about another 10 years, although I'll just take out a second on my house in about a year or two and pay the f*cker off (I owe about $26K right now). When I first got out, it was close to $900/month, but I've paid off some of the direct school and private loans early. All I have left are the federal student loans.

Graduated with no loans and won't need any for grad school either. Thank you TOPS and scholarships

That's dumb. Those kids getting out of law school right now are begging for paralegal and legal secretary jobs.
Got out of undergrad debt free. Paid off some of grad school, but I pay about $225 or so a month on loans. My interest rate is ridiculously low though.

Wife and I have $900 in minimum payments ($50 of which is mine). We pay an extra $1500-2000 to knock out the highest interest rate groups.
Could have them all knocked out in 4 years. They suck.

dear lord i only owe 24 K and that was because I needed to take some loans out for 2 years of grad school.
I'm going to use the payments to build my credit score

I started with 135,000 in loans, that was when i graduated pharmacy school just 2 years ago
I'm at 57,000 now
I'm curious, you guys who have rich parents pay off your loans, are we talking like 20-30. Or over 100k???
I couldn't imagine someone having an extra 100k laying around to just give their kid.
