When I got married my wife had ~$60k in student loans for a degree that she’s never used.
We both worked low-mid paying farm jobs at the time but bought a camper, lived as lean as possible, and put every spare dollar towards paying those loans off. It took us 2 years but was liberating to be free from.
We lived in that camper basically rent free for 5 years until we saved enough to buy a fixer upper homestead, then we rented the camper out to friends. It has probably saved us $50-100k in rent and yielded more beyond that.
I also got a few college degrees but my state (georgia) actually paid all of it via the lottery.
If I had it to do over I probably would’ve learned a trade like electrical that I could always feed the family with or work anywhere in the world. Just my 2 Satoshis
