English majors can't do math? How much of your monthly pay do you need for expenses?

assuming you have found a fairly cheap living space, reliable transportation, and are living on as few luxuries as possible, you should be able to pay it off within the next 2-5 years. If you aren't doing those things, try to save where you can. the bad credit rating should rectify itself if you pay off your debts on time for the next couple years.
