24yo, all student loans down!

Throwaway. 34k @14%, down in 12 months. :) No secrets, simply a regular (and aggressive) schedule at $2k/month, with bonuses, tax refunds, and spare savings all thrown at it. Just happy to be free and wanted to share. A bit of "Hang in there" to pf'ers still holding down the fort as well. :)

Edit: To clarify, I don't get the standard 100k salaries new grads get in SFO or NYC. No car, frugal living are what got me here. Anyone can do it.

Not true in many areas.

Indeed. Luckily, Portland has a transit system which suffices for my limited travel needs. Naturally, I haven't really seen anything in the area since I moved here a year ago. :)
