pay off my student loan

Another payment down.

I’ve gotten into the habit of paying off my student debt as soon as I get paid. That way I know exactly how much money I have to spend.
Bills get paid right away. Money into RRSP’s right away, money into savings right away. The leftovers are for spending.

And I still owe $0 on my MasterCard…for the first time in a very very long time. I am seriously so happy right now. Nothing I can buy could make me feel this comfortable.

Now I can start putting more money away for a bigger trip next summer.

Hope you are all doing well!

So much closer now!!!
I also paid off all of my consumer debt… I own $0 to a credit card company. Go Team Me!

Well in july i will start having an extra £30 a month in my pocket, so i’m going to put that towards paying off my loan. after all i’ve lived without that £30 for a while now, so i doubt if i’ll really miss it anymore!

Some friend’s just called to invite me out for sushi and drinks.. But I’m going out tomorrow night… so… I told them I’d skip dinner and invited people over here after for drinks.

1- I won’t spend money on eating out (I have plenty of food here)
2- I won’t spent money on booze (which costs a lot).

and pay the darn thing off.

So as of today… I am officially STUDENT LOAN DEBT FREE!!! YAY!!!

Helped by a few tax related refunds. But still, I’m psyched that I was able to put as much to this as I could.

TOTAL DEBT OWING: $47,790

This amount includes debt obligations accumulated from 4 years of undergraduate studies and a law degree from a reputable institution (I graduate in May of 2010). Luckily I have received scholarships and bursaries in the last few years and next year and while combining this with working part time next year I should, and hope, to not increase my debt any further.

My student loans are broken down as follows:

$13,100 on one loan, $14,310 on another and $20,380 on the last.

I have a year left before I graduate and then the loans become repayable. I am working this summer to pay this amount down. My goal is to bring this large amount down to $43000 by the end of the summer. Please encourage me along!

$872.67

Thanks to my income tax return and my normal monthly payment, I’m under a thousand! I’ll have this paid off in no time! :)

Another payment down!!! Woohoo!!!
I need to remind myself to stay focused. :)

Ok. Now that my car is paid off, it’s time to focus on yet another slice of debt. My school loan.
