I’m 37 and paid off all of my ~80k in student loans (for a communications degree) since my 2009 graduation earlier this year… How the hell does this person still owe so much on their student loans?

Congrats on having enough income to pay your loans quickly. Most of us aren’t as fortunate.

Pretty easy: I owe $135k on the $60k I took out in 2005
