Well, we're lazing around watching movies, so I decided to check AS's student loan account, and our payment was there! $116 went to principal, so that brings our February debt repayment to $5079. Cracking $5K is a new record for us!
How did we do it? Some of it was planned. Some was due to bigger-than-expected tax refunds. Then there was a flurry of freelance income from AS. Plus, we'd been hanging onto some of her 2009 income in case she owed self-employment tax, so we were able to put that toward debt as well.
This is a good flourish before we settle into minimum payments only, which consist of about a grand a month, until probably late summer.
We did it! Another payment to debt
