Student loans. I think between my BA and Masters it was over 30K.

@mr.bee: Good point! Ok then I say student loans which was around $50k. Thank goodness it's paid off now.

I bought a car and financed about $8,000. Aside from mortgages that's the most I've ever been in debt. I paid that off in 2 years and vowed to never finance a car again.

I'm very fortunate to have very little debt. I only had student loans from my last year in college, which should have been around $10k. One day I received a letter about an "adjustment" and ended up with less than $4k. To this day I have no idea what happened. I paid it off asap.

Um you all would be shocked at my student loan debt. I financed 4 years of undergrad, 2 years grad school, 1 year post bacc and 4 years of med school... All at public universities, but still over $150.

The thing is, without affordable student loans I would NEVER be where I am today! I was able to change social strata solely based on my ability to procure student loans for graduate and post-graduate training. Nowhere else in the world would I have been able to achieve what I've achieved, and I'm so glad student loan interest hasn't doubled as it was scheduled to.

I only have a very little bit of my student loan debt left and I hope it will all be paid in the next year (thanks to a loan repayment grant).

I had $95,000 in student loans coming out of school. One year later, I am down to $87,000, and I didn't even start paying them until November! I hate them and can't wait to get rid of them.

DH and my student loans total $70K right now.
