[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40 yrs old and 36 months away from paying off my $107k of student debt. I will strongly discourage my child to incur this type of debt. I have significantly diminished my lifestyle to get rid of it. My children are too young to worry about it now, but I intend to talk about financing college/grad school/major selection all as one discussion. If I had to do it over again I would've just stuck with my engineering degree from my state university undergrad. [/quote] I'm 36 and YEARS away from paying off husband's and my combined $270,000 in student loan debt. We started at $400,000 but jesus christ there is NO WAY I will encourage our children to take on this kind of debt. It is INSANE. We plan on paying for college for them and hope it will be public. We'll discourage grad school for them if we cannot afford to pay. This debt is crippling.[/quote] PP here, meant we started at $420 combined, not $400. [/quote]
