I think they'll be paid off in about 8 years or so, but who knows. I can't imagine how much more money it'll feel like I have once that finally happens though!Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332903649775375204.post-44659795194276580862013-09-17T16:00:49.860-07:002013-09-17T16:00:49.860-07:00I still have student loans!

I used to think saving for my own kids' college education was a priority, but as I get older I realize that it's not - saving for retirement is actually much more important! When my kids are older they can get scholarships, work through school, or get a loan for their education. My husband and I can not get a loan to live in retirement. So our priorities have shifted, but if we ever hit the lottery, I would definitely put aside money for my kids' education.

We were really dedicated to getting that paid off, tho, so used our tax refunds to knock down the balance every year. That hard choice paid off, tho! No more student loan payments! Good luck w/ yours! Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530361814272535547noreply@blogger.com
