Pay Day is a Happy Day!

Today I got paid, and promptly put the money into my bank account. That bumps me up to about 42.8% of my goal. The crummy thing is that I couldn't put my entire paycheck towards paying off my student loans because I have to set aside money for next month's rent, as well as my visa bill this month. Yuck. But glad to see that I'm at 42.8% nonetheless!

Hey Angie, how'd you get 0% interest on your student loans? Did you apply for interest relief or something?

Hi Krystal,

Nope, it's because I'm still a full-time student! I still have to deduct tuition from my savings for my final term of school. But in the meantime, I'm saving as much as I can so that I can graduate debt free.

42% is great, good idea to get rid of it before you graduate!

That's amazing Angie. There's no way I would have ever thought to try and get rid of my student loans while I was still in school. You're so ahead of the game! Good for you!!

Good luck with your student loan pay down! I can't believe you're still in school and already paying down your student loans.

I hope you enjoy my blog. No refunds. :)
