Starting big law w/ 150K debt- aggressively pay down, or PAYE?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 12th, 2013 6:29 PM Author: excitant anal locus organic girlfriend I have 150K in debt, and will be starting biglaw in the fall as a second year in primary market (Expensive as fuck).
Should I aggressively pay down loans, or just PAYE that shit and build my savings so I can buy a house in the next five years? |

My guess: pay it down; 150K is doable in just a few years, then you don't have that debt hanging over you which wil screw credit score, and probably the payments in PAYE will ultimately be the same, just spread out |

In my opinion, there should be more to this decision than just dollars and cents. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2254170&forum_id=2#23185108) |
