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

Hah. It’s more that I was working in a country that was weak against the pound, and that for some reason SLC charges way higher when you’re working abroad.
So whatever I was earning, half would go to rent, a quarter would go to the loan (once you factored in the exchange rate), and I’d have that glorious other quarter to myself.
I am doing better than most I would say, but I also have a sowing machine and have learned through time how to patch my clothes, if that answers your question
It does indeed - the overseas thing is nuts! I guess they assume you’ve become an oil baron or something and must therefore be a secret moneybags?
You’re doing better than me on the frugality front, I suppose I have the benefit of a UK based, mid level salary! I’m looking forward to my loan being written off in the not too distant future!
