I’m not sure I can really do this post. Our debt payoff has pretty much stalled. When money got super, super tight a couple years ago, I put Matt’s student loan in income based repayment. That actually put it in deferment for two years. For two years, it still collected interest but we paid nothing. We are now back to paying on it we officially owe more on his loans than when we graduated.
Also, pretty soon, we will have another car payment. We aren’t going the truck route like we had planned and are getting something smaller but still four-wheel drive. We did, however, pay off the van this past June! Yay!
So big numbers this year. My last debt check-in we had $31,676.11 left. We now have $31,159.27 left, all student loans. A whopping difference of $516.84. Not an impressive number considering I paid of a vehicle in that time. :/
Since May 2012 when I first started tracking our debt payoff on here, we have paid of $12,177.57.
Considering I’ll be 29 this year, I don’t think I am going to make the goal of paying off our debt by the time I’m 30. My new goal is to be less than $30,000 in student loan debt by the time I’m 30 and all of the student loans gone by the time I’m 35.
