Boomer Sooner girl! Congratulations!!!!
@1EarthLovingGal You bet. I am glad you got some good news.
Fantastic on all counts, may the world continue to smile in your direction.
Excellent work Madison you didn't let the ones tearing you down win after all.... Let those ones know that after graduation you will earn more in a year than they ever made in five...
@1EarthLovingGal If you live a comfortable lifestyle without going overboard on spending those loans can be paid off quickly if the job pays well... Hopefully Sanders will be elected and the loans may become irrelevant...
@1EarthLovingGal I just looked it up and if you have 100K in debt at 6.8% to pay it off in 10 years takes a payment of 1,150 a month but if you can squeeze out 1,500 the pay off time drops to 3 years.... So lets use that figure and say you get a job some place for 80K a year (average for a CPS worker starting pay where I live. 80 /12 gives you about 5,500 a month after taxes which if you get a nice apartment out here for around 1,700 a month and put 1,500 to the school loans that leaves you with 2,200 a month to pay bills and buy what you want or even save some for a down payment of a home of your own... Considering what you have been living on I think you could handle that for 3 years right?... Using prices here as an example....
