How to pay off student loans
It made me
Yes!
 "I feel unburdened."
How I did it: I finished the degree in 1995, so this has taken 13 years to pay off, which is amusing since it was originally a 10 year loan. Sallie Mae will let me drag this out as long as possible. They get more interest out of people that way. My ex and I had combined our loans during the marriage. When my ex and I sold the home this summer we used some of the money from the home sale to pay off the loans. What a relief! Lessons & tips: Pay extra principle whenever possible |

Payed off Stafford Loan!

It was not my biggest student loan or highest interest, but I payed it off anyways just to catch a glimpse of what the light at the end of the tunnel might look like. It’s actually pretty shiny!

Have paid about $600 down this year on one of my loans. not much but is a start i guess…
Will increase payments to $200 a month this August, so that will step things up.
More loans...maybe

So, I applied to a 2-year Master’s program at NYU for this fall. I got accepted, but NYU is horribly expensive and they didn’t offer any money in grants or scholarships. Tuition is $42,000/year. Although it’s a very unique program, I do not feel that I accept their offer. If I had to pay for both years in loans, I would be over $100K in debt. I am forced to believe that NYU is simply not the school for me. :(
