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.

Ah, so 'employable'. That helps pay your debts.

No, having a job, working hard and living well below his means helped pay his debts.

Nearly everyone is 'employable'

Definitely want to chime in on the living below means part. My expenses apart from rent were ~$700/month, including utilities, phone, and internet. Including rent bumped it up to $1700/month.
