Will you be done paying your own student loans by the time your kids start college?

    Yep. I think we have another 5-10 years left on most of ours (college + law school)? And that's less than the original repayment plan. I think we're still in six figures though.

    Yes, mine should be paid off soon.

    DH and I both went to law school and our parents did not help us with undergrad or law school, so we own a full on house mortgage in student loans. We make a good living, but we put every spare penny towards loans. We do minimal retirement contributions or savings, we rent, have paid off older cars, and no other debt. We seriously live on like 25% of our income and everything else aside from church tithing goes to loans. We hope to pay off everything off in the next 2 years, maybe a tad longer depending on finances post-baby. It will be the happiest day of my life, aside from marrying DH and meeting baby!

    I didn't have any and DH paid his off a few years out of school.

    I'm already done. Hoping I save enough that she doesn't need them when she goes!
