More debt paid off, etc.

October 29th, 2009 at 02:16 pm

One of AS's student loan payments hit, and $61 went toward principal. That makes our October debt payment total $2674.

This student loan is such low-hanging fruit; now at $1855, I could have it paid off soo soon if I focused on it. However, at 2.5%, it's the next-lowest interest rate we have on our debt (after NT's 1.49% mortgages). So there's no way I'm diverting funds from my higher-interest debts to tackle that one!

Watched "Bank of Mom & Dad" again last night. It's a pretty good show, if anyone has SoapNet; about spoiled 20somethings in debt whose parents move in with them for a week to turn their finances around. Every week it's a new focus. Last night's was sad, though; the girl had a very unapproachable mom and had clearly replaced the love she missed with material things. I may not be able to communicate properly with my parents about a lot of things, but I could always get a hug if I needed one! It ended on a more positive note but only after lots of tears.

    Thanks for the post - it reminds me that even though I am tired, my daughter is presently miserable. She's in the tub now soaking after a hive outbreak. She does require extra love and attention. Hell, I created her, now it is time to comfort her.

    Great job on the debt repayments. That student loan will be history! Way to go on tackling that debt. I hope I can finally move in that direction soon.
