Almost forgot about this one! It takes so long for payments to post on their crappy low-tech Web site that it's hard to remember to go back and check.

$53 paid to principal

$1201 down, $1699 to go in my February goal

$4059 to go on my Overall Ad Hoc Goal

No progress on my Big-Picture Goal

LOL, you must be talking about Sallie Mae. I had a long ordeal about how long it took for my loan payoff to clear!

Actually it's Firstmark. You can't even get to their site by typing the address in the browser! A google search comes up instead, and their site is the first result, and you can get into it from there. It's the weirdest thing.

Low-fi Web sites must be a symptom of the student-loan industry! :-)
