4. That is what they were threatening.
I think I might have gotten the better deal if I had kept my money & given them my brain.

6. Congratulations!
It took me about ten years to pay mine off but I remember how good it felt.

10. What a great feeling.
It took me 10 years, two full-time jobs, and countless calls from ruthless collectors, but I polished off mine too.

Woo hoo!

14. The really scary thing is I didn't go to college until I was older.
Well, I was 26 when I started. That seems really young from 40.

16. I was just joking about how long it takes to pay those damn things off!
Or so I've heard. I couldn't even get one when I was in college ('83-'87), so I worked full time as a bartender and my parents helped me as much as they could. I'm amazed I managed. The way tuition has skyrocketed, there's no way I could do it now.

Mine won't be paid until 2024. It's the 20+ year plan.

15. Congratulations, and an opportunity!
Congratulations on paying 'em off, and let me be the first to offer you the opportunity to begin paying off my loans as well. It'd be really appreciated.

17. Congrats! It took me almost 20 years to pay off
my loans from grad school (but then I started out 60K in debt)

19. Congratulations!
I worked two jobs and went without a car so I wouldn't have to get a loan. You're lucky.
