I'm in tears. A grow ass man in tears. My Student Loans are forgiven [View all]

Before I go on I have to admit I was really bad at paying these off for a while. In 2009 I got on a payment plan. $269 per month. For what I can best figure was a total of $15,000 that I borrowed I’ve paid back $34,000 and had $34,000 left. Not anymore. I logged into MOHELA to verify.
