I'm $60k in the hole. In hindsight, I never should have gone to a non-state school. I haven't started paying back the debt yet, but have every intention of dealing with the lenders and explaining that I can't possibly make the payments they'll be expecting (I estimate $600 or $700 payments if not more), because of medical bills, monthly meds, other bills. They have to work with you if you make the effort to work with them to lower your payments.
I'm not looking forward to dying in debt. But hey, they always say "you can't take it with you!" That's gotta go for money you earn and money you owe, right?
