A Hawaiian man has achieved a feat that many students may deem impossible. He has paid off over $50,000 in student loan debt in just 11 months by saying “yes” to an incredible array of odd jobs.
Kamaka Dias, 27, graduated from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, and made the decision to pay off his debt as quickly as possible after calculating what his expenses under a loan repayment plan would look like.
“I think it would have been like $500 a month for like 10 years, and I would have paid like $70,000,” the Hilo native told KHON2, “so I was like, ‘Nope! I’m not going to do that.’”
