I am so bummed to see i still owe 5200 on my student loan. I thought it was a few grand less. If i just keep paying the usual, thats 3.7 more years...ugh. (This is a loan i took out in 2004 to finish my BA when i was in my upper 20s...i guess a 15 year loan.)
Even if i can double the payments, im still looking at 2 years or so. Man!
So right now im saving to pay off the car. If all goes well that can happen next month. Then im going to work on the student loan, but not go crazy because there are things we really need to save up for and buy like a stove. And floor. And tree cutting. And a fence...
Maybe i can save up chunks of $ for it and pay it down in bigger chunks instead of feeling like every dime has to go to it. My interest rate is 3.4% and monthly payment is $116 so its not breaking the bank but would be nice to pay it off early and get that $ in my account instead.
