A guy starts talking about “hard work” and yeah dude you probably did work hard, but you also offhandedly mentioned receiving half of a million dollars from people in your life who “believed in [you]” and I’d like for you to elaborate on that.
I used to see a lot of “I paid off my student loans in 18 months, here’s how. I saved all my money and got a director job from my FIL / Mom gave me a house / my spouse paid for it. Just work hard and you can too!” I think I saw one legitimate one of “worked hard as a nurse and paid it off in 7 years” out of 10.
I paid off my student loans by closing my eyes and going “lalalalala I can’t hear you” to my account. My story is so inspiring, that I keep getting calls about my loans now.

I paid of my student loans by living in Germany and having middle income parents, thus never actually having borrowed anything.
I’ve had 3 careers: cook, sysadmin, lawyer. Those three careers pay inversely proportional to how hard it is to do.
