One thing I hope that we can all agree on: student loans can be expensive.
That's why I've always enjoyed reading student loan success stories where Millennials are able to crush student loan debt.
I had my own battle with student loans and my story got featured on AOL Finance when I managed to pay off $30,000 of student loans in just 12 months.

There are a lot of Millennials out there making big changes in their finances in order to pay off those pesky student loans.
