<prompt> Human: How did all of you pay off your debt? Were you aggressive in getting it paid off ASAP? What was your strategy and how long did it take?  <response>: 44k in 2012, 33k remaining, should have it paid off before the end of 2017. Salary went from 44k to 65k, should be up to 75k next year. 15 was private loans, and will be paid off in Feb. Aggressiveness is a recent phenomenon for me, thanks to this sub.
