[quote=Anonymous]I had about 65k when I left grad school in 2014. Primarily grad school, some undergrad that had been deferred. I’ll make my last payment this summer. Husband and I always made it a priority when we had a good chunk of money to pay down loans. I also had the benefit of a work retention program that has paid a total of about 20k over the last 3 years. After undergrad, I made above minimum payments even though I was working at a nonprofit with a sh*t income. We bought a house in 2016 with 15% down, so theoretically we could have used that down payment to pay off our loans but we had paid off the highest interest rates by then and decided it was the right choice for us. We have had very high credit scores over the years as well. Husband had much less debt (no grad school and more parental help), and we just paid his off last month.[/quote]
