Are you part time at a law firm? That's a great salary for working p/t!

I don't have either (loans or an income).

DH has about $10,000 in loans...total annual income about $120,000

I am at a firm but I work 75% so it works out to around 40 hours a week. So part time is somewhat of a relative term .

Currently owe 150k (undergrad and grad) and make 84k. I have loan repayment that will total 66k.

Owe 56 but wish I owed more because the rate is 3.5 percent. I pay off as slowly as possible. Make 200.

Repayment through the feds or some other repayment?

I've got about the same amount of debt and salary (I posted earlier) and would kill for a position with repayment.

Orig. amt - $65k; still owe $30k; make 200k. 2.875% interest rate provides little incentive to accelerate payments, but I pay about $200 extra per month just because I hate watching that interest compound!

Original amount - 200k combined w/ husband, now $130k. We now make $270k combined but he was unemployed for 2 years which slowed down repayment. This year we're hoping to make some progress.

Owed $130k after law school; now down to about $58k a little more than a decade later. I make $155k as a government lawyer, and received a total of $12k in loan repayment funds on my federal loans a few years back from my agency.

Owed $0 (Had scholarships for undergrad and a fellowship for my MS) now make $115k. DH owed about $25k which we paid off early once we stopped being able to deduct the interest. He now makes $125k.

My agency helped pay off the loans.

No, the American taxpayer paid off your loans.

Yes, because the PP is a PUBLIC SERVANT for all taxpayers, including you.

I have repayment through my local government job--a program that repays because I am in the healthcare field and serve the underserved.
