Forgive them all
Today, I worked out that if I paid the minimum monthly amount on my student loans, I'd be paying them until I'm 65. FML

If you pay the minimum on any debt, you'll be paying many times over the original loan amount in accrued interest. That's why you don't play the game and you pay more than the minimum every month.

I think (hope) #2 meant don't pay the minimum amount, but more than the minimum amount.

At least, they know how to spell college, even if they'll pay for a longer time.

you don't have to go to an ivy league school unless your going to be a dr or lawyer.

That's not hugely unusual - just looking at my credit card bill today, if I pay the minimum at the current rate then it will be 25 years before I pay it off! Fortunately I don't have to pay the minimum, so I won't. Always pay off loans as quickly as you can, in the order of the highest interest first. Otherwise, you will be significantly worse of in the medium/long term.

It'll take me 15 years if I pay $400 a month... The problem with getting a degree based job is they want u to have experience to hire u but you can't get experience without getting hired smh

My aunt is still paying after 20 years but that's because she likes claiming it on her taxes.
