Does debt from school loans control your life?

As I approach graduation, I owe almost $20,000. I want to travel and explore other interests, but I feel like I can’t keep up with the US cost of living and my education loans right now.

Do those who have student loans control your life?

20k? Do you mean the cost of a used Toyota? No, I believe you will be okay.

I possess 29k and I am alright?

I graduated with $45,000 in debt 6.5 years ago. Since then, my husband and I have taken four major overseas trips as well as countless domestic trips.

Student loan debt can be a major financial burden. It can make it harder to buy a home, save for retirement, and build good credit.
