principal

i’m thinking of doing the lowest monthly payment because it’s very likely i’ll qualify for PSLF (plan on working for a non-profit hospital)
will also likely be in a high cost of living place

and yeah 50k isn’t actually too bad - it would be much worse without scholarships / without parents helping with undergrad lol

the only advice i can give on the loans front (which sucks) is to be super vigilant about them trying to fuck you because they will try to fuck you. my sister tried to pay her offs when she came into a big chunk during her divorce, and they rejected every payment that would clear it off and like just kept trying to fuck her over even when she’d make progress it was insane. it’s absolutely intentional too. like genuinely do your due diligence in every interaction.
