Disheartened by my student loan :(
Just manage to find my login details for the SLC website. haven't checked it for years
Turns out I currently owe £25,839.18.
And it says that is with all the interest calculated up until 31/03/2010.
God only knows how much it actually is right now
Whats the point....................

The point is, you've got the chance in your lifetime to earn a LOT more with a degree than if you'd not bothered. And the loan only comes out once you're earning more than a lot of jobs without degrees pay. So you're winning. And, ultimately, the loan gets killed off if you never end up paying it back.

The new rules will mean students don't even pay back a penny until £21,000, and the "interest" is just inflation so it is effectively an interest free loan.
Seems a nice easy ride to me.0 -

It does seem disheartening. I get over that by figuring out the best way to pay it back which will cost me the least interest. (Depends on how much you earn and how long it is likely to take you to pay it back according to what you currently earn).
Try not to think of it as a normal loan and a normal debt. I know it's not easy, but chin up!
