Soon it's 10K you owe and then with interest and all it just spirals from there. At one point I was paying almost a quarter of my monthly wage in loan payments (500 odd Euro out of about 2000). And the worst thing was, most of the time I didn't need the money for anything, but it was like someone saying "go on, you can have it. It will only cost you an extra fifty a month
(and add five more years onto your repayment time"). Took me about 20 years to get finally cleared.
