I've been slightly dumb with my money and haven't been contributing to an IRA in the last ~5 years that I should have been. Fixed that this week!

the familial strings attached not worth the hassle

This is almost always true. Exceptions exist, but an amount of debt that can be covered with an incoming signing bonus is not one of them.

How do you guys make such massive payments? I'm only managing to overpay by a couple hundred every month, but I also live in a really high COL area. I can't imagine how you send five thousand out the door in one month x_x

Probably by not paying attention to your finances, being frugal by nature and/or having a high income, and then realizing later that paying off your loans is a good step to take.
