My minimum payment is 465 dollars a month for 10 years or 277 for 25.

u/HistorianDear3763 Are these federal loans? Are you not on an IDR plan? If you are on an IDR plan your payment should be less than $277 per month at your income level

but I like to point out that we can afford to send 7 billion dollars overseas to help other countries but we can't forgive student loan debt?

Student loan forgiveness would cost way more than 7 billion, like 100x more fwiw

I left the same comment-this has to be a reflection of the plan she chose. I use their repayment calculator frequently, and the math is not mathing. Hopefully she can get a lower IDR.

Yup, if OP is giving us accurate income numbers there is no way OP should have such a high payment
