around $70K - I had been put in that program decades ago and paid my income adjusted payment every month. I'm sure I had paid off the principal over all that time, it is the compounded interest that gets you with the loans. I am very grateful to Biden for helping with this and just another reason I'm voting for him again.

I wish they could redo the programs for student loans, keep them in the public sector, and run them with low/no interest to give people a chance. The banks are the only ones who really win with the way it's done now.
