Young mom-to-be pays off her student loan debt of $120K: 'Focus on other life goals'
Fox News
As the Biden administration scales back its student loan handout plan, one Maryland woman who completely paid down her college debt has a story of discipline and dedication to share.
"With the financial freedom of having paid off my student loan debt, I can focus on other life goals," said Micah. Micah said she knew even before her first year of college, when she was 17 years old, that she would bear the financial burden of paying for her college education. "She told me, ‘Your first bill is due Oct. 1st. So, you need to find a job.’" Micah admitted that cleaning up in the cafeteria after her friends and peers was not the easiest thing for her to do — "but it was one of those things that I had to do," she said. "My mom was honest with me. She never wanted to set us up for failure." Too many college students or even college graduates, in her view, are "suffering in silence" as they try to pay down their student loans or other debt.

She added of her loan, "I decided to make the journey to pay it off because I just didn't want anything looming over my head in terms of ‘what if?' down the road. I wanted to pay it off and be out of that situation." She said that with this comes "peace of mind" for her.
