does it really take that many years to pay off the loans? Forum

1. $3500/month is hardly frugal.
2. People ITT need to learn how to minimize tax liabilities better (but yes, $72k net from $75k gross is incredibly naive)
3. IBR ftw
4. ???
5. Profit

Ugh... PI.

California has a 9.3% income tax rate? EFFF it I don't want to move there anymore.

Well I'm leaving no state income tax for that 9.3%....

That would be my trade-off as well. Thus my O.O and mild heartbreak at realizing that moving to the land of good weather would require a sig. cut in how much I take home after taxes. (All theoretical. I'm in undergrad and don't really make enough working part-time to care at the moment.)

It could be worse. State income tax tops out at 11% in paradise.
