local businessman and fellow commenter, rusty, asks,
Does this mean yr student loan is paid off?
unfortunately, no... about a year ago, i consolidated my loans in order to lock in at a fixed interest rate which both lowered my monthly payment, and took the time-to-pay out another 12 years.
however, i'm $108 away from paying off my car. and i decided this morning that i want to get a different one.
