Student Loans and Surgery...

February 1st, 2012 at 02:56 am

Even though I was aware of my student loans, I have just been keeping them in forbearance and/or deferment for the past few years. I had an epiphany last week when I received my interest capitalizationFrown. Even though I have made good progress paying down debt, my student loans were still accumulating interest so paying down the other debt was sort of counterproductive. So I redone my budget and made my first student loan payment. (I also redone my sidebar since the SL is my priority now.) I paid off $11,000 in cc debt the past two years so I know this can done in 4 years or less.

I am glad I sat down and looked at my student loans.

I have so much going on right now. In March I will be donating a kidney to a family member so I will be off a few weeks recovering. The month of May will be tight moneywise (actually every month is lol) but I will still try to pay $100 towards my SL.

OAN: I am down to $400 on my cc debt.

    Oh my. Good luck to you in your surgery. My best friend's sister-in-law got a kidney transplant last year and it has turned her life around. Her donor was a colleague, since there was no match in the family. We praise her to the skies! What a wonderful gift.

    Thank You, CB. I am an O Blood Type so I can donate to any Blood Type but fortunately my family is an a O Blood Type too so our blood and tissue matched perfectly.
