I feel like I got through college just under the wire with it being achievable to pay off. Like not long after being in college I started saying I could not do it if I started today.

yup. graduated in 99; had to take on some debt, had to get the army to pay for the lion’s share, but if I were looking at the #s (and world situation) today no fucking way would I do either.

that tracks as I graduate 4 years earlier. Also the military was a no go for me. I was well aware its essentially signing up to kill anyone you are told to kill when they choose to tell you to. I get in most cases you can get by without that happening but I was not cool with that. My debt was an auto loan. Granted for like a tricked out luxury suv. But still an auto loan. Somewhere after your point it was becoming a mortgage. I have a brother 5 years older whos loans where like a regular car loan and one 5 years older still who could pay his bill with a really good summer job or at least come out with loans equivalent to letting your credit card spending get a bit out of control. I kinda kick myself for not going to community college for two or three years and reducing my debt by almost half.
