Stories That Pay Off: Tips for paying off your student loans, from 7 people who already have
If you’re one of the more than 44 million Americans saddled with student loan debt, the payoff period can seem near interminable.

We talked to seven such people this week who shared exactly how they did it, what they wish they had known before and their best advice for making total repayment a reality.
