no more than $40,000 atm, but who knows how much it'll be when its all said and done...I still dont even have a career/major i plan on pursuing and I am a junior mechanical engineering(im trying to switch out of engineerin). i always think about leaving the country, so why pay back all this money when i dont plan on staying...
Mindblowing. Paying back your debts is an honorable thing to do to me, especially if it went to help you out in the long run.
A few things I got from a quick google:
Earn more income with a 2nd or 3rd job
Refinance student loans to get a better overall interest rate
Consolidate student loans (also to get a better rate)
Apply for an Income Repayment plan
Cut household expenses wherever possible and throw the increased cash flow at the debt!
