As of Wednesday, my student loan balance is officially below five figures!

I now owe $9,967.51.
True, this is still a large sum of money. And it’s also true that I don’t like owing any money at all. But I’ve committed to paying my loans of a little less aggressively to take advantage of a teacher loan forgiveness program that I’m eligible for. At times, it feels like the pace is agonizingly slow, so I need to celebrate these milestones as they pop up.
Anyway, happy Friday! I know I’ll be on cloud nine all weekend 🙂
