When I left college in 1993 I had $35,000 in student loans (approx the same inflation adjusted number as $70k in the current year). I paid twice the minimum, shared an apartment, lived frugally, had no car, and paid them off in 5 years. I also bought a house. Why did you fail?https://twitter.com/lacymjohnson/status/1204963358266593280 …

Replying to @stephengracin @MorlockP
Even if you do get a useless degree, it's possible to pay off your loans and not go backwards on them. What I've seen a lot is people prioritizing experiences and travel in their 20s, and then they wake up in their 30s and realize that they are incredibly far in the hole.

My BIL is one of them. He's 46, makes good money and travels all the time and complains he hasn't paid off his loans yet.

Yet we have an engineer at work who's 29 and still lives with 5 roommates because she wants all her loans paid off before she's 31.
