Loan Payment
Well since today was payday, I threw more money at my student loans. Hello paycheck, goodbye paycheck...
The amount going towards all the different groups is set to go towards them today, while the $85 towards group D (which is the one with the highest interest rate) is set to go towards it tomorrow. Since I've been making slightly larger payments (and I do mean slightly larger, my minimum due is usually $268.48, and I've been paying $270) and I paid that extra $50 not that long ago, the minimum payment I had to make this time was actually only $208.92, but I figured that since I had the $270, I might as well put towards my loans what I've been putting towards them.
I only have two paychecks left to get from my job that's going out of business. I have to find out from my boss if she's mailing out everyone's last paychecks or what she's going to do. For that job, we get paid every other Friday. I get paid this Friday (the 17th), and then the next payday would be May 1st, but the last day that we're open is April 26th. I shouldn't be too concerned because my last paycheck from there is going to be really small (I only have 2 days left on the schedule there!!), but it's still something so I do sort of need to know how I'm going to get that one.
Once that loan payment processes on the website, I'll be able to see how much went towards principle and now much went towards interest. My grandfather wants to know all that information, so I'm mostly writing it down for his sake (so I don't forget to tell him any of this stuff about my student loans), but I'm also writing it down for myself. I've had this blog for 5 years (May 26th will be 5 years since my first post here), and even now I find it interesting to see how much I've changed in those few years. It's interesting to see how what's important to me has changed, and to see how my writing style on here has changed (or even if it's changed). I think I've gone from a whiney teenager to a slightly-less-whiney (lol) young adult. Who knows how long I'll actually keep writing on this blog, but another five years could go by and I'll be able to see then who I was now. Five years from now, I'll be halfway done paying back my student loans (or a bit more than halfway, if I keep putting extra towards them), and I'll be able to look at this and say "Thank god I don't still owe $25,000!)
