I made my final loan payment on Friday and it was such an awesome feeling! I’d been paying the minimum payment for 6 years, kind of coasting along and not really paying attention to it, and last year I decided to ramp up the payments and get it off my list. I have two loans left, but I will concentrate on my credit card first because the interest is higher – then I’ll come back to these. It’s kinda surreal to think I never have to make that payment again! Well worth the sacrifices I made to get to this point.

I have one more payment this month (next week when I get paid) and I will have one of my loans completely paid off!!!!! I have two others left to go. I can’t wait to make the final payment and start putting that money towards something else.
