Hey guys I just got done crunching some numbers and figured out that my undergrad ran me about (85k)<~ great time, great parties, met my fiancé there but what a total waste of money haha. Grad school will hopefully only run me around 70k. So total will be about 145-150k.
With that being said I was wondering if it's not too personal of a question what some of your total debt looks like? What realistic salary will u be comfortable starting out with? What route will u take in paying off your student loans (asap, 5-10yrs, 10-15yrs, 15-20yrs, putting it on obamas shoulders to drop them after 20 haha)? Will u focus more on private or federal loans first?
Mine:
155,000 in debt (55private, 100federal)
70-80k = ideal starting out salary (I plan on picking up home health on the side if I can't make it all from one job)
5-10yr payoff plan
I'll focus more on private first tha federal due to the flexibilty and income based payments with federal+after 20 yrs it gets erased haha.
