I should’ve clarified: I’ve made 317 payments but my loans are split between subsidized and unsubsidized. So it’s technically only like 150 payments then i consolidated last year. Not enough coffee this morning sorry. So it’s really only like 160 payments I’ve made.

Edit: I’m also a govt employee so I only have 27 more months and they’re forgiven (hopefully) Bc PSLF. But we’ll see

“If you borrow money for school, you pay it back just like I did and all my friends did.”

I’ve made 317 payments since I graduated college and still owe approximately 54% of how much I initially borrowed. Granted at one stretch of time I had to hold off payment Bc a disability and bankruptcy but you know… no big deal.
