[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from law school 18.5 years ago with $160k in student loans. Have had a very unusual career since then, interesting but without much stability or great $$ - and anyway, I still owe $42k. I remember getting to $100k, then $50k, and each time starting to feel like maybe one day - one day! - the end would be in sight. Just checked a student loan calculator and saw that if I can put $1500/month toward these babies then I can be done for good in 2.5 years. The very thought of it is like a huge weight lifting. It's hard to even contemplate that if I can just sacrifice for the next couple of years, I can be DONE. (Knock wood a thousand times.) So please help me stay motivated by telling me HOW AMAZING you felt when the loans were finally gone! What did you do with the extra $$ every month? How much less stress did you feel? Please tell me your stories of joy and freedom![/quote]
