Well I have to take the plunge and make these payments. I"m doing it weekly. Small chunks at a time. Heck since I am going to pay this until the day I die I might as well not take a huge hit monthly right. Smaller amounts are easier to deal with. Well until something happens that well I either win the Lottery or these loans are forgiven. And right now it does not look like either is going to happen fast.
I did hear from the Art Institute. They offered me to pay 1/2 of what I owe in full. Nice deal if I had that money. I admit it would be nice to get them out of the way.
On other debt news I"m plugging away at things a little at a time. The car loan is paid off! I need to send extra money to another bill. But right now with the weather being so cold our extra money went to heating oil instead. :(
My bill binder is working for me. Its keeping me somewhat organized. I do have a envelope that i put in a few dollars here and there to work on my emergency fund. I have to say it feels good to stash a little money aside. Even if its just a very small amount right now. I think I"ll start selling stuff from around here again and put that toward this fund.
So far sadly I do not see an end to the student loan. But I have learned a lot about myself from this experience. But what I should of done and what has been done are not going to change things. But I know that I can move forward.
I pray a lot about this student loan situation. So hopefully something will happen one day. Right now I have decided to put it in God's hands and listen to him. He is saying pay what you can at the moment. For me personally this is a lesson I had to learn. Its a hard one at 48 I tell you.
Until next time. Pray, Keep up with the latest news, and do what you can. We are all in this together.
