Someone help me gain some perspective because I'm slightly freaking out. Sure I know I went to a private college for four years. I understand that it was expensive and that I took out student loans. Of course I KNOW how much I took out over the 4 years. But it all just slapped me in the face.
Right now with the interest that has already accrued on some of the accounts my grand total of student loan debt is:
$59,335
This scares me. I feel like I'm going to be paying this money back until I'm retired. This total makes me think of a nice luxury car that I gave up owning because I HAD to get a college degree.
Please someone slap some sense into me and tell me I did the right thing. The only blessing I see right now is that my graduate school is COMPLETELY paid for and it is a guaranteed $3,000-5,000 more in my salary.
*goes back to stressing out* My heart is kind of beating fast right now.
