Iβm so happy, I hit the send button on a $1,000 payment of my student loans. I used the money I was saving for my bedroom set. I donβt know why but something is telling to get this first loan paid by the end of the year and so Iβm trying very hard to do so.
Iβll admit I canβt help but think, what if I was able to invest this money? It depresses me, but I know Iβm making progress. By the end of the month, I would have thrown over $2k at this debt.
Iβm praying that the interest free remains through at least the first quarter of 2021. If this happens, I will be able to pay off the interest of the second loan, and start tackling the principal.
Edited to add, a friendβs mom put $20 in a thank you card, I was able to find her Lysol. Though I didnβt want the money back and itβs way more than I spent for it, Iβm thankful. I used this to add to my student loans. So today I paid $1,020.
My new balance on student loan 1 is $3980
I Did It!

This is not the time to put a big chunk of money into the stock market,
We are going on a wild ride from now through the inauguration,
If you invest the same amount each month, that is fine because of dollar cost averaging, but I think we will soon see a lot of people worried that their retirement accounts have lost $$$.
The debt you are paying will stay gone!
