I’m celebrating a panoply of milestones today. Three of them at once. It’s milestone of milestones posts.
My assets totaled at the time of this writing are $146,204 to be more precise. This means I now have more in assets than I ever had in debt (-$142,598). This is a big psychological boost.
Woot! I’ve made it to the 40’s. Now that I’m here, I’m already in a sprint to get well into the 30’s, by the end of the year.
Original Balance: $112,258
Remaining Balance: $49,402
Monthly Payments: $2,800 (Payments are back up and I’m back on track) 🙂
Term Remaining on Debtor’s Prison Sentence: 1 year and 6 months 🙂
Current (variable) Interest rate: 4.88% (up from original rate of 3.42%) Read More
Another milestone post! This one will be short and sweet.
I made an extra $912 payment today. (That’s almost back up to my goal of paying $1000 extra/month).
I did this because it looks like my housing situation will be stabilizing soon and I may not have to move after all, at least not anytime in the very near future. My rent will still be going up until we find someone else to move in. It may take a couple of months or so, because we don’t want any more drama and will take our time with selection.
When I started this blog, my student loan debt topped out at $112,258.
Today, it is at $56,000.
I’ve paid off 50% of my student loan debt!
I have now reached the peak of the mountain and only have to roll the boulder downhill from now on.
