how old are you bro and my advice would be make sure you pay at least the min. until you can afford to add to it. was your loan simple intrest or does it still accure intrest

still claimed as a dependant? if you are see if your parents will let you claim yourself because dont forget student loan interest and tuition is a tax deductable expense if you arent a dependant on someone elses tax return

dude i am 26 yrs old, dependent is not an option but thanx for the reply. someone else might be able to use that usefull knowledge bro, thanx

I don't know if this applies to anyone on this board, but I always wondered why someone would take out a 60k loan for an education that will get them a job at 30k? If this is the case for some of you, here is a hint, COMMUNITY COLLEGE. Then shop around for an affordable college that won't leave you broke for the next 20 yrs. After all, once you get your first job, and a little experience, no one is going to care where you Graduated from.

haha sorry i know it ws off topic but being a loser accountant thats what pops in my head.

Most entry level jobs pay ~30K... but since I've been out for 6 years... I'm making almost triple that... so it is a good investment...
