Think I’ll feel even better about it once the student loan organization posts the payment, but due in part to a sudden reckoning by family re: support to date and capacities today, I was able to pay off the last bit of my loans without screwing up my immediate need finances.
10 years in the making, lol. Just kinda feel like shouting this into the void, despite faithfully making the payments it still never really felt like this day would ever come.
Congrats! Is there anything you’re saving up for now?
At this point, just getting my kid through their last year of college (the life event timings are admittedly weird for anyone following real closely, but I’ve had some stuff happen ‘out of order’, which isn’t all that unusual I guess), shoring up the emergency fund a bit more, then after that I’m not 100% sure.
It might be nice to work towards owning my own home, but I’m very far from a down payment at this point. But who knows? Question of priorities I guess.
