I will also discuss where I’ve been putting my money since you’ll see that I’ve made less than stellar progress on paying my student loans. Lastly, I’ll discuss my…

April 2018 Debt Progress: Changing My Payment Strategy

April 2018 Debt Progress: Changing My Payment Strategy

I am so glad I started this blog to hold myself accountable because I am feeling pretty damn embarrassed right now for not making progress so there will be drastic changes coming. The upside is while I didn’t make any payments in March or April, I didn’t default on them at all. This is because I…

I accrued $340.53 in interest. The good news is those accrued interests are not being capitalized and I have 50% subsidy…

November and December were very busy months for me, with the holidays and the new job.

Overall I made very great progress in December, making up for that one payment I made in November. I decided to tackle my next highest interest, deciding to go with the debt avalanche method. I had previously requested Nelnet, my student loan servicer…
