After loan pause ended last month finally paid off $360k student loans (post tax 😢). Loathe to take on any debt...
Wait are you saying you did it?!? No more student loan debt?

yeah haha. was a bit anticlimactic tbh...

DUDE! That’s so crazy awesome. You’re free!
When I paid off my debt (10x less than yours), it didn’t feel like much at first, but eventually it felt like a storm had cleared. That low grade chronic stress was gone.

haha thanks. maybe it was anticlimactic because i had the money set aside waiting for the federal loan pause to end... just hurts to think of the total in pre-tax dollars haha
