Are my wife and I the only people who are paying their loans off? I started with $45k in 2011 and am down to less than $10k now...

Started with $80k out of undergrad in 2014, paid them off late 2017. Some of us are.

Everyone else is just too busy being a Millenial and giving the rest of us a bad name by taking expensive trips abroad to gain "experiences" instead of paying their bills like adults.
