<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit,Im going to be graduating this December with roughly 55,000 or so in student loan debt. Here are the details of my debt:2 Chase Private Loans both from 2008: 1 11,000 loan with 12.25 interest yeah... 1 12,000 loan with 5.75 interestUnsubsidized Stafford Loans: 8 Loans over the past four years ranging from 1500-4000 all at approximately 6.5 interest at a total of 27,000 with 2700 in accrued interestMy very general plan right now is to first and foremost pay back the largest amount possible on first the accumulated interest and then the principal amount of the chase loan with 12.25 interest. Simultaneously, Ill consolidate all of my unsubsidized Stafford school loans.Obviously, I have a long, long way to go and if I was able to go back in time four years with the knowledge I have now, I would never have gotten myself into this situation. Unfortunately, I cannot, and I have to deal with my mistakes. I come to you Reddit asking for any advice whatsoever on tips, tricks, or help on what a 22 year old college graduate can begin to do to get his life on track and begin a steady loan re-payment plan. I can say this much - my main priority after graduation will be demolishing these loans as soon as possible. Ill be living with my parents for 2-3 years in the Chicago area so rent, food, and gas, along with most other expenses wont be an issue. Almost every penny I make will go towards loan repayment.Knowing this, do you have any helpful tips? Id greatly appreciate any words of wisdom. thanks very much!!  <response>: Find employment of any kind. Since youre living at home even a 10 an hour job will go a long way towards eliminating this debt.But Im assuming you can do much better with your degree to assist you.Once youve paid them off, buy something very nice as a thank you to your awesome parents.
