I paid off my federal student loans this morning!!!!!

I have a lot of private loans left, but these high interest (6.8%) federal beasts were f'ing awful. It took ~7 years to pay off the $65K I had in 2008 but they're GONE.

I borrowed almost $90K in private loans in 2008 and I'm down to $60K (btw - this whole scenario is a good lesson in the punishing aspect of compound interest).

I feel like the thought of paying off my student loans is as distant and unreal as paying off my mortgage. Somedaaaaayyyyyy...

Congrats! I felt a triumph with each loan we paid off, only $7600 left for me now, but nowhere near getting that paid down anytime soon....amazing how much loan repayment slowed once DD was added into the budget.

Woohoo! I bet that feels great!

We've only got $5k left on H's SLs and I really really really want to be done with them. Thankfully the interest rate is less than 2% so we just pay the minimum.
