So between my husband and I and three graduate degrees between us, we have lots of student debt (sigh). Like over 100K lots. Sigh. It is however all under 5% interest, all in IBR, and there is the possibility of forgiveness after 10 years through PSLF. So as forgiveness is a possibility, it doesn't make sense to try to pay off quickly, but it still bums me out to calculate how negative our net worth is every month.
But to have something to aim towards, we're aiming for zero. At our current pace, it looks like by Oct 2013, after several years of working towards it, we will have zero net worth. Zero! We will have assets that match our debt, and hopefully over time be earning more than our debt (especially if some is forgiven).
How about out there? Anyone else aiming for zero?
