Just paid off my student loans!

(Dunno what paying for "higher education" is like over there but this is a very big deal for me!)
I think when student loans first started here they were a decent option but its gone mad now. My 35 year old lad (he's on pretty good salary) will take quite a few years still to pay his off.Just paid off my student loans!

Yeah, my loans totalled £4k, but I had a grant for my fees.I think when student loans first started here they were a decent option but its gone mad now. My 35 year old lad (he's on pretty good salary) will take quite a few years still to pay his off.
Cheers! It's weird how much I benefitted from COVID (in multiple ways); the freeze on interest accrual really helped me stay ahead of it without it ballooning out of control. Still, I won't look a 5-figure gift horse in the mouth!Well done and congrats BTW.
Not so much your 35 year old, but the people in the new system for sure, it’s just accepted that it’s an extra 10% “graduate tax” untill you retire. You’ll likely never pay it off in full (particularly if interest rates are 8%!) and you’ll just keep getting “taxed” that extra 10% until it’s written off after 25 years or whatever it isI think when student loans first started here they were a decent option but its gone mad now.
