I did it. I just submitted my last student loan payment.

67K over five years. I lived way below my means, put all tax refunds and any extra or unexpected income toward it, and consistently paid more than the minimum each month. I almost broke down in tears because it’s finally over, and I can finally breathe.

To anyone still dealing with this, best of luck. If it helps, I’m happy to share my approach and how I got through it. Just reach out.

Til then, peace.
