Student loans don’t have to haunt you forever! Some grads paid off huge balances in under 10 years—without putting life on pause. Lauren refinanced and side-hustled her way out of $125K, Christopher hustled multiple jobs and beat the interest clock, and NiaChloe planned ahead, worked through college, and prioritized paying debt early. Their stories prove there’s no one-size-fits-all, but creative strategies (and a little hustle) can make a huge difference. #Education #StudentLoans #DebtFreeJourney
