It feels a bit surreal, but great! I've spent the last 7 years paying them down and did the final lower interest ones just 5 minutes ago! The last two were only at 2.65% so I could've probably let them linger and kept paying that $50/mo, but I just wanted to be done with them!
I'll edit since some people are asking for more details:
My starting balance was ~$65,000. The highest interest was 8.5% on a GradPLUS loan that was 5k. I paid that off almost immediately.
The majority of the loans were 6.5% interest. I finished paying those about a year ago.
The last ones to be paid off were two small loans at 2.65%.
Pretty much all of the loans I paid off were from grad school (which I regret doing, but too late now). There is one undergrad loan in my name but it is being paid by my father, for which I am thankful.
