i guess being chatty is better than the alternative.
i have slowly been chipping away at long-held debt and, last month paid off a credit card on which i’d been carrying a balance since before my divorce, but most of the debt was incurred from the amount i agreed to pay kurt for the house equity. thankfully, the house hadn’t appreciated more than 6k, so he got 3.
anyhoo, that’s not the exciting news of today. the news of today is that i just paid off my student loans!
i graduated in the summer of 2001 and finally paid off the loans that got me through college, bought millions of art supplies (some of which i still own), many sushi dinners at tonton (i know, this was not necessarily a good use of the money, but come on, i was a kid). finally, paid off.
now i can focus on the relatively large (to me) balance on the amazon card and i think i can be down to one debt (the mortgage) by the end of 2018; barring any unforeseen situations that i hope don’t happen.
