<prompt> Human: Hello guys,I come from an extremely poor family. My mother collects unemployment and my father is working his ass off to help pay for the 6 children he has. I decided I was going to be the difference maker, so I did everything in my power to push myself through college. Being the first in my family to get a degree was exhilarating. Fast forward a couple years and with no help I have put myself through college and owe 150,000. This number is unfathomable to me. A majority of my loans are private and I have a co-signer for 2 of them. I dont have enough money for food. Luckily I dont pay rent. As of right now I am on a repayment plan which puts me at 600 a month, and that is challenging to pay.Do you guys have any sort of advice? Life just honestly doesnt feel worth it anymore. I feel like the sheen is gone. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thank you for any responses I get.Andy  <response>: First things first, take a breath and remember that plenty of people have been in your shoes before. 150k may seem like an insurmountable figure now, but it is by no means impossible.Like 99 percent of this sub, my first advice for you is to attain a decent-paying job and attack this debt aggressively. Live frugally and within your means, and if by paying no rent you mean you live with your parents, milk that as long as possible but feel free to give back.What is your degree in, and have you already attained a job within your field? Posting your budget here will let others help you in greater detail.
