- I have been paying on my loans for 12 years & have significantly more student debt than when I graduated. After we got married, we set out to pay off our debt. We paid off over $10k in 6 mos. We work hard, live frugally, and pay what we can. Still the debt grows out of control. When so many good, hard working, well-intentioned people have the same inescapable problem, its not laziness, entitlement, or malice. Its a problem in the system weve created over the last several decades & the way we arbitrarily decide what work is worthy of a living wage. (twitter.com)
