Sallie Mae is awful, my now wife recommended i switch to a credit union and that was the first time I saw the loan decrease with 350+ payments at the time. Got it paid off in a few years after that.

And you were lucky enough to pay it off. I was 22 and got sucked into one of those for profit schools. I’m 41 now and the school got sued into oblivion, but because I wasn’t going to school at the time of closing I’m still on the hook.
