Too much victim blaming ITT. It's borderline [redacted] to blame an 18 year old for going to college and accumulating student loans. Especially considering:

1. Just about every kid is taught the best/only path to success is through college
2. Virtually no high schools prep kids for 'the real world.' Graduates can explain why Eli Whitney is famous but don't have a full understanding of taxes or loans. It's bull shit.
3. Colleges have taken advantage of these things (and federal loans) and drastically increased their prices.

Anyway, I know your pain TC. I pay about 600 a month, yet my principle only drops about 80-90 a month. It really limits my chances of ever buying a house.


Yuck, that sounds even worse than me. How much do you owe?

I am hoping with my new bump I can at least knock out 500 a month. Its progress at least, and the lower the premium the lower the interest.


I think around 58K. I don't even check anymore cause it makes me depressed lol. 300 goes to federal loans. 50 goes to a loan my dad co-signed for. Another 250 goes to a super predatory loan I was suckered into. I'm going to refinance the last once my car is paid off (like 18 months).
