I just added a new feature to my blog ... my countdown to F-R-E-E-D-O-M! I know that it isn't the greatest countdown ticker in world, but I designed it myself - quickly! I knew I wanted it to look something like the ball dropping for the new year in Times Square. The payment of my student loans will be bring financial freedom and a new beginning for me. And I thought the disco ball would bring some glitz :-)
I am hoping to have the $28k balance paid in full by the middle of 2010 and preferably in May, June or July - the 11th anniversary of my last semester as a full-time student. It was the last time I took out student loans. It would take another 3 years (13 years after I left school!) instead of little over a year if I just pay the minimum! I will update the countdown monthly to reflect my repayment status.
Wish me luck!
