How much student loan debt do you have?

[Deleted]

ZERO! I paid mine off a few years ago

ETA - I was on scholarship that paid just for my tuition. I worked full time up to my Sr. yr because of classes/scheduling. that's when I took out 1loan for living expenses. I think it was around 4k.

H had none because he's ridiculously smart and fiscally responsible. I have about 60k left for my BA after paying on it for five years.

[pugz]

a little under 30k now I think? I paid for grad school solely with loans and it was about 24k. I only had 11k at the end of undergrad

This is terrifying.

Don't worry. Our friends have more ;-)

[adhdfashion]

0 school debt. I had scholarship and H parents paid for his.

[KaraOrNot]

I had around 28k when I graduated (undergrad and grad). I am not sure what I still owe.

$15,000 left.

When I graduated from law school, I had about $145,000 (all from law school).

[falada45]

I graduated in 2007 with $16,500 in student loans. I'm down to $5500.

[lightbulbsun]

$0. I'm super lucky I didn't have too much to begin with, and was able to pay it off quickly.

At one time I had 60k but now I have none. It feels great.

[blueballoon]

I have none. H has $7000. I do need to go back to school though, I'm getting no where with what I have now.

[luckyval]

Zero - I was lucky to take on a minimal amount of debt

When we bought our house, we got that homeowners tax credit and used that to pay off the remainder of my student loan debt

[bowies]

$0 - I only have undergrad though. The state paid for my tuition/books.

[mrssavy42112]

A little under $15K.

ETA: That's what's left. I went to a state school and had a significant amount of scholarships. Fortunately, DH has none.

[Kristinmo]

None for me. About $20K for DH.

[leeann]

Right now, I have just a few grand left from my MBA.

[firedancer49]

I just had to check my balance - $57k.

[Deleted]

I graduated in 2006 with $20K, have about $10k left to pay back.

I am considering going back to school and will either take on $40k or $60K depending on if I do another B.S. or M.S. I'm scared to do this

[Cioccolato]

Around $70,000. My mom pays it though.

[bcv513]

None. I had a scholarship for undergrad and my parents paid room and books. I paid for grad school myself with the help of a grant.

[jerseygrl]

I have about $3500 left for mine. It would have been paid off 2 years ago but I had to consolidate when H got laid off.

I'm trying to pay extra now to get it paid off quickly.

H has about 38k left on his. WE'll be paying that up until DD goes to college

[winnied]

$53,000. Fortunately, H has no loans so it's not that bad.

[Kit]

None, thankfully.

[fuckyourcouch]

some of these replies are making me feel much better about my H's loans. lol.

and i'm really impressed with those of you that have paid off huge amounts! that's awesome.

[catwithspots]

31K from my undergrad--ugh, ugh ---all from a private university I attended for 3 years and never graduated from--I hated the school, never fit in, and took time off going into my senior year.

I transfered to a fantastic state school that was a great fit for me. When I went back to finish, I was working my for current company, and I used my tuition benefits to complete my UG.

Lesson learned--no more private schools for me! The same employer tuition benefits paid for my Masters and is currently paying for my PhD.

I started with 58K

[malibu]

Just shy of $5,000.

[limey]

Zero.

Neither of us had to take out loans.

[screwedup]

Amazingly, between us, we have about $7500 left on my MBA and we're paying for my M.Acc in cash. My M.Acc will be the 6th degree between the two of us. I think we're doing pretty good!
