<prompt> Human: PROGRESS :D!25F, graduated in June 2013 with a Master of Architecture and 57k in federal student loan debt. Since full-time employment in Feb. of 2014, Ive been paying 12 of my income to my student loans. I now also pay an auto loan I took out to buy a used car in Jan. 2015. I love using Mint for the trend graphs, but Ive also made my own motivational poster that I color in every time I knock 1k off my student loans.I dont make a ton of money about 43kyear before taxes, and I pay all my expenses myself with the exception of health insurance just turned 25 though, so only 1 more year on my parents plan, so this has been a major feat. My net worth right now if you add in what I can sell my car forsavingsETFsRoth IRA and ROTH 401k is about -10k. If I keep up with my aggressive payments, I should be 100 debt free by May 2018, at the age of 27, and I should hit net 0 in about 9 months. I owe it entirely to PF for helping me get this far! Thank you for sharing this journey with me!EDIT: Thank you so much for all the support and for sharing your own stories of debt and suffering :p. Here is a jpeg to a numberless version of my motivational poster: Would love for anyone that uses it to send me some progress shots :D.  <response>: This is pretty sweet. Your housing, car, and food expenses are low, you are also working out health and fitness, and youre murdering those loans. You are on a very success-driven lifestlyle, and its refreshing to see something like that.When youre done, treat yourself to a trip or something, then keep on truckingP.S.: Those lenders are gonna be pissed that they didnt sap as much interest as they wanted to. Keep up the good work.
