    I used to see a lot of “I paid off my student loans in 18 months, here’s how. I saved all my money and got a director job from my FIL / Mom gave me a house / my spouse paid for it. Just work hard and you can too!” I think I saw one legitimate one of “worked hard as a nurse and paid it off in 7 years” out of 10.

      I paid of my student loans by living in Germany and having middle income parents, thus never actually having borrowed anything.

      I paid off my student loans by closing my eyes and going “lalalalala I can’t hear you” to my account. My story is so inspiring, that I keep getting calls about my loans now.
