Oh. MY.. Gawd... I am going to have to take a 2nd job feel like one step forward 300 ste

[greenbriar]

I make decent money

but I want to pay off some bills and had a plan worked out to pay off everything but my house in 3 years...

now my student loan is coming due for my master's

my first loan is not bad at all, but my masters loan for less money is twice the price of my origonal loan... What in the world..

so...now I can't pay off all my bills in 3 years and I will have to get a 2nd job to pay off my masters




anyone feel like one step forward 300 steps backwards?

1. It sucks now to contemplate the long road ahead but I do envy you because

you are going to feel like SUCH a champ when you look back and see how you managed to settle it all with hard work and diligence. Lots of people never get to feel that sense of accomplishment.

I recently woke one day to find myself, after 10 years, debt free. It was a high that put weed and LSD to SHAME. (speaking, of course, strictly for myself...)

2. I thought you just bragged about all the neat Christmas gifts this year.

A cruise, trip and diamond.

Perhaps what you need is some budget counseling. Budgets are so much more clear when they are on paper. Sometimes people don't realize where their money goes.
