It’s dreary as a Kentucky football pep rally outside, but I’m still happy. As of today, I’m free of credit card debt. Hurrah! I still owe some on a student loan, but I’ve been told that’s “good debt.” Regardless, I can make more interest stowing money in a basic savings account than what they’re charging me in interest.

Freedom!!! Congrats, it’s a great feeling, ain’t it?
What’s the interest rate on your student loans? Mine just went up.. grr.. and I thought consolidation was supposed to prevent that from happening.
Gah, mine must have gone up recently with that new law that was passed somewhat recently. It’s like 7 percent now, when it was something like 2.5 percent before. Fuckers. Guess I’ll be paying it down afterall.
I just checked mine. Apparently two-thirds of my student loans are at 2.65% and the other third just went up to 6.89%. Probably need to look into paying more on that one.. But shit, they’re already taking $543 a month from me!
I went credit card debt free last year, and it was incredibly liberating. But yes, the law school loans at a new higher interest rate are kicking my ass. Not fun at all. Nor is a mortgage.
Well, I’m going the opposite direction at the moment. Thank god I don’t have student loans, but.. still.. moving is expensive! It’ll be a while before I can join anyone for trivia. Or just about anything else that involves spending money.
The really good thing is that I don’t have to worry as much about car-related expenses.
But still.. moving was more expensive that I expected it to be, and I’m still recovering.
Having said what I said, of course, I would still be up for an occasional lunch with the Secret Society of Bloggers Who Work in Midtown.
Just don’t go buy a house now and get one of those easy 5-year adjustable arm loans. Before you know it, your five years will be up, and then boy are you screwed with increasing interest rates. Then again, maybe they’ll fall again in five years. What a crap shoot.
I like how Rusty got all disappointed.
