Over 25 years, I expect to ultimately pay about $125,000 to my student loans
I have almost $100,000 in student loan debt, even though I only borrowed $50,000 for my undergraduate and graduate degrees together: $17,000 for undergrad and $33,000 for my graduate degree. About 20 years post-undergrad, it's clear to me that my loans grew that much from a combination of my poor financial decision-making and a high interest rate. I have affordable payments now, and no regrets — I did the best I could at the time, with the information I had.
