This is pretty much my plan. I'm looking for a PT weekend/evening job to help me repay the loans sooner. Not have a better life, or more vacations, or more 'spend money', but to pay off my loans in half the time.

I keep hearing student loans are the next "bubble" to burst and part of me hopes it happens, the other part of me knows it will, the day after I make my very last payment.

I'm trying to double up my payments so I can pay them off in half the time, but it's just a matter of how I'm able to do that. Of course, getting a higher paying job is certainly easier said than done, but it would really, really help right about now.

The student loans are the only debt hanging over my head (paid off the student credit cards first because the interest rate was MUCH higher and the balances were ...about the same, actually) and I can't STAND that it's there.

One day when I grow up, I want to be able to buy a house, buy a car, and have a family. Until the student loans are taken care of, I can't afford any of the above. Sadly I know way too many people my age doing the exact same thing. The renters market is rough right now, yet there are houses for sale everywhere you look in this city. My age group simply can't afford to buy them at the moment and probably won't for at least 5,10 years.

Its depressing.

I know that sometimes it seems like a huge steep climb, but, really what you are experiencing has been the same for generations. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that from the time I graduated from college and bought my first house was 14 years. In the meantime I got married, had a child, did 4 years of military and so on. It isn't unusual for that amount of time to be taken to get established. Today's society seems to imply, via commercials, etc., that all of that is attainable in just a couple years just past puberty. The norm isn't like that. Patience and careful planning will insure a better life, it just may start a little later then wanted. People do hit the big time faster, but, they are few and far between. Build for it and it will come!

Thank you for the encouraging words. I always thought I would be further along than I am at age 30.

Disappointment is a flavor of tea I've learned to enjoy.

I think you'll fit right in at the party.

BTW, could you pick up a couple dozen Publix Fried Chicken dinners for the party?

Consider it done!

I will also pick-up other assorted candies & sweet edibles to go along with our chocolate Witwibs. Just make sure the party attendees eat their fried chicken first, and don't spoil their dinner with sweets.

(If you don't eat you fried chicken, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your fried chicken??)
