Revisit this thought 20 years from now when you finally finish paying off that loan and still have no place to sleep.

Who are you angry at? My loans will be paid off in less than four years from now (7 total) and possibly as little as two more years (if I can figure out how to not eat out so much...). My college education was a fantastic investment.
I am not angry at all. I watched people around me in the same situation as you, job right out of school with a good payment plan have life happen and suddenly that 4 yr plan turned into 20.

That was with much much lower debt than anyone I see today having.

All I can say is that my repayment plan is speeding up and not slowing down.
Good. I truly wish you the best. Some folks do great. Looking back on my 5 decades more dont.
