- Femme - Posted April 26, 2012 Sent in the last paycheck to student loans. What a HUGE dead weight off my shoulders! Alhamdulliah. No more loans of ANY kind for me. For those in or approaching post-secondary studies - do everything in your power to pay your way through school. Don't borrow a penny if you don't have to. Work yourself to the bone. Take longer to graduate if you have to - it doesn't have to be 4 years (unless specified). If only... Now, how should I treat myself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mukulaalow Posted April 26, 2012 Why changed the previous title "wooooohoooooo" into more somber one, seems you've just realized real debt starts from now on, house, car, fancy dress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- Femme - Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks all. I'm still on a high. It took me a year and a half - and I sent it EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF EVERY SINGLE PAYCHECK. No shopping, no vacations, no eating out, NADA! I didn't want to spend years paying off debt and wanted to take advantage of my position as a single gal with no dependents Mukulaalow;823413 wrote: Why changed the previous title "wooooohoooooo" into more somber one, seems you've just realized real debt starts from now on, house, car, fancy dress. I didn't change it Someone doesn't like my happy exclamation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
