Student Loans and College Expenses
How much did your college cost you?
What degree(s) do you have for that expense?
How much longer before you pay it off?
If people don't want to answer this and would prefer an anonymous poll can someone make one for me? I'm on my phone and don't think I can.

Re: Student Loans and College Expenses
My husband paid for all of undergrad and medical school by himself, with some scholarships (his guidance counselor and parents weren't nearly as "with it" as mine were as far as figuring out what scholarships he could have received, considering he was first generation college, his parents made a combined 40k a year and he is Native American!) That said, he came out of undergrad with about 15k in student loans because he worked through college and lived on a food budget of $20 per week--for all meals combined! Medical school is just crazy-ass expensive, no matter how you do it, so he came out of medical school with 110k of loans, still living as frugally as he did in college. That said, we are paying down tons of debt every month and will hopefully be finished with the remainder before he finishes his fellowship. We have a goal that once he is "officially" a neonatologist (2 years), we will also be 100% finished with student loans!
$48,000.
