Curious to hear others on how they handled their student loans and/if they consolidated, how they went about paying them off, and if/how to work with private student loan companies that are fkin me?
I had under 50k when I left. Average interest rate for all the loans was about 7%. I just paid them off as quick as I could. Threw all my extra money at them. I have a few friends that left with over 100k and they all recommend consolidating.
Bite the bullet and put as much as you can towards them. I know a handful of people that went the income based repayment plan and they pay under $100 and they're only paying interest...
I'm not touching mine until they decide what/if they're forgiving any. If the 20k thing goes through mine will basically be gone, I'll pay off the little left the couple months after.
