Re: It took me 13 years, but I can finally say..
  
Was it a huge amount? I just started having to pay back my undergrad loans they were interest free while in school but now the interest on it is like 6%
I think (grad school was free minus fees, and whatever amount was taxed)
I feel like it will take forever to pay back lol

It was about $25K loan total (combined for 4 years undergrad and 1 year grad), which ballooned to nearly $35K with interest payments over the years. I look back and really know it wasn't that much at all. In the early get go, while single, having an apartment to pay rent on, having a car and insurance and paying to take the LIRR to the city for my job, and not making much money, I paid them back on a sliding scale based on my salary.... it lowered my amount per month for a few years and that is why it took longer than the 10 year repayment period I initially had. I know I ended up paying more in interest in the long run, but I just couldn't pay it back then just starting out....
That is why it feels so good to have it gone!

Re: It took me 13 years, but I can finally say..
Congrats! I'll be paying those for a while but I got a great rate when I graduated. By the way, what bank do you use that pays you 6% interest?
