It took 10 years, three ex's, two countries, and living with my mother for a bit, but I finally paid it all off.

Ask me how I feel. The guy who took my final payment on the phone was happier than I was

Congratulations ๐ŸŽ‰

I look forward to my student loan getting written off (plan 1), there's no chance of me paying it all off, especially given the interest is almost the same as my monthly payments...

I'm plan one and mine won't get written off until I'm 65 (took it out before 2006), but I'm not making any payments due to working part-time in a public sector job.

I don't plan for this to change as my health won't allow me to work more hours or aspire to a higher paying job, so I may never make more payments. But I have probably paid back everything I borrowed when I was paying it, and everything that's left is the predatory interest.
