I have multiple student loans. One is private from Sallie mae and the other is Federal through Wells Fargo.
Original loan from each is $20,000
Total: $40,000
I've been paying collectively to both about $450/month for over 5 years. And apparently the amount I was paying (although I thought it was more) is only about $10 more than the minimum payments.
So after 5 years of paying thousands of dollars I review my accounts to see my principal balance and I nearly $*&% myself.
Total of approx. $39,200.
