Buh-Bye Perkins Loan 13 months ago

Today is a monumental day because I finally paid off my first student loan in full. My 5K Perkins loan is now history. I put the final check in the mail today. 5K down, 12K in Stafford loans to go.



Ah, the Beauty 19 months ago

I was shocked and awed by the bill for this month’s Perkins loan. I have under $700 left to pay off of what started out as a $5500 debt back in 2003.

I am ecstatic! I will be able to pay off this loan before the end of the year!!! That’s $176 a month I can put toward something else, like RENT!



So Close 2 years ago

This morning I sent out the latest payment on my Perkins loan. Once it goes through I will have less that 2K left to pay back on this particular student loan. Yee haw!



Accepted! 3 years ago

Yes! My application for student loan consolidation was accepted!!! Starting August 1st my monthly payments will be about forty dollars less. Not a huge savings, but enough to save me almost five hundred dollars a year. That little bit of extra cash each month will go toward paying my ever rising cable/internet bill.



Consolidation 3 years ago

Welp, I took a step towards this on June 29th when I submitted an application for consolidation. If I’m approved at least my interest rates won’t go up, thus saving me a little dough in the coming years.
