So I've got about $25k worth of student loan debt at 6.55%

my sl is 3.25% there is no way i can get better deals. if you can into early repayment do that or at least halve your loan amount this will save you a shitton of money.

last time i got offered a loan to replace my student loan it was 11% apr. i was pretty curious who the moron would be who went for it.

don't get a loan to pay off another loan, as if you get fired for some reason or your loan defaults then you not only owe the school money but now you owe the bank/credit union as well

ask for a payment plan and budget your money accordingly

Best to just live like a peasant and just pay it off asap. Student loans are a fucking plague.

>Told id repay them just fine if i got a job
>80k sounds like alot but okay if you say so
>See the paperwork for the first time 4 years later
>10.5% starting the day i took out the loans
I was some sort of turbo-retard in high school.

Yeah, I try to put in extra towards it each month

Well at least I didn't fuck up that bad, but yeah I got jewed by my own ignorance. I mean it's kind of fucked up how good my high school education was, private school, honors student all that shit, and no one ever taught me anything about personal finance or debt-slavery

pay back $10k now
which will result in way more than halving the total amount of money you pay back.
