It took 10 years, three ex’s, two countries, and living with my mother for a bit, but I finally paid it all off.
Ask me how I feel. The guy who took my final payment on the phone was happier than I was

Congrats!
I just transfered the cash to my wife to pay off hers (I couldn’t before when she was a full-time worker due to tax implications in Japan, but as a dependent, it’s fair game). Mine still have a huge balance (in USD which sucks for my job paying in JPY) for an over-priced and sub-par education at a for-profit university (the only option I could do as a full-time employee with frequent overtime).
Congrats yourself - and yeah that interest on the loan was 6% at one point, I genuinely toyed with the idea of just borrowing from a loan shark to get a cheaper rate haha
I hear from some people that it’s just a loan that you kind of live with for the rest of your life until they decide to let you go.
Some student loan forgiveness would have been nice, but no politician seems to be floating that idea anymore, so
