How is everyone dealing with the scary student debt numbers? I'm looking at $77-80k in student debt, including undergrad, and it makes me nervous on how to pay it back. About 20k of that is private loans but the rest is federal. Does anyone have any advice on paying it back? I know theres the option of living at home after but when I graduate I'm going to be 26/27 and I don't really want to be living with my parents at that age. Any advice from current OT students?

Live with your parents and pay it off asap. Paying it off is better than saving for retirement imo.
