Paying off student loans with high debt to income ratio

I accumulated $211,304.16 in student loan debt with a high debt to income ratio, making it difficult to pay off

What I wish I knew
"Calculating accruing interest sooner to adjust my strategy"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider prioritizing savings and retirement accounts alongside debt repayment"
