here is my story
i have about 30,000 federal loans, and 120000 citi assist loans.
i was a fool who received every possible loans in my 5 long years in college. and worst thing is that out of 150k, only 45k actually were 'student' loan. other 105k, i paid off my credit card debts(40k), 15k on car accidents, 20k on a trip to europe and spent thousands of dollars on living expenses.
i don't know how i spent so much money. i was doing very well in school, and i thought i would pay them all off easily.
payment starts within few months and i'm only making $3000 a month right now.
because of the loans, i even decided not to attend the grad shool(was accepted to yale)
i've read enough posts that i probably should consolidate federal loans. but what da hell am i supposed to to with 120k citi? the monthly payment looks like $1500 a month. that's a mortgage!!
can you consolidate private loans? is there anyway i can reduce the payment, so i don't live my life trying to pay off my debts?
i feel so foolish, and now i don't know what to do. this is very depressing.
somebody just shoot me. please. 🙁
