pay off school loans

so i’ve got my first job out in the so-called ‘real world.’ and the reality of school loans are here. i’m hoping to have my loans paid off in five years. and i think i’m off to a good start. slow and steady wins the race, right?

I’ve been volunteering full-time since I finished grad school. While I love what I do, and I know that it needs to be done by someone, I’m starting to feel the pinch. And I haven’t had a real source of income for too long! So now I’m finding a paying job and I hope to pay off my loans before I start school…again. :)

I paid off my husband’s loans without him knowing and gave him the loan papers in a huge christmas box.

I went to the school that gave me a full scholarship. It didn’t quite cover books, so I did end up paying out of pocket some for that, but nothing that required a loan. I also worked full time while I was a full time student, to pay my bills. Don’t wait until you graduate to start paying it back. You can work and do school at the same time.

It feels very good!!

If all goes well, I will be able to finish end of Apr!!! All that hard work!!! =)
