HAH. I wish.Yeah but aren't you guys making six figures right outta college?
I make 42k a year, with 90k in debt. I pay about 170 a month, and I can't really afford much more. Going to be doing this for... the considerable future.

Aren't people with the most debt Doctors? Once you become a doctor, 300-400k debt seems nothing, thats how much you make in a year. Same with lawyers?

I mean, this should be completely obvious.
I'm finishing at $23k in student debt and even that relatively low number stresses the absolute fuck out of me.
I'm glad I live in a country where school is free (Finland) so I never had to take any student loans. Though our salaries are pretty crap so there's that... + High taxes.
No, I'm very lucky that I had a fellowship in undergrad that covered my tuition and gave me a stipend for the majority of my time.Are you in debt, Pau?
My parents pretty much pressured me to go to law school. Nearly $150k in debt and those bums barely help me out financially. I still love them though.
I'd be having nightmares too if my major wasn't a STEM field.
Management and sales are the big money payers. IT and software development can be anywhere from 40k-100k depending on cost of living and position. Finance and law have huge salary curves. Doctors can in their mid 30s by the time they start out, and salaries peak at probably a few hundred grand for the most lucrative specialties (anesthesiologists)Yeah but aren't you guys making six figures right outta college?
In the home stretch. 35 years old and less than $1500 left. After that, I can finally pay off my car loan!
Congrats! After you went solo how long did it take to find that life balance? I had entertained doing the same at one point but knowing me I don't think I could handle the stress and hate bringing work home mentally.Fortunately I was able to pull some money together after a bit and go solo. Sucked at first but now im making way more with some actual life balance as opposed to killing myself 80 hours a week for some older attorneys.

Ouch at that interest rate. Wow. I thought my wifes was high at 3.7%, and mine was only 0.9%
Holy hell, any way to refinance that?My unsubsidized grad student loans are 8.9%.
My unsubsidized grad student loans are 8.9%.
My undergrad private loans are 13.7% and banks wont refinance them for me because of debt to income ratio despite my excellent credit. Shit is infuriating.
That shit should be illegal.
