Your sweet no-rent situation was a really nice arrangement. *jealous*sarah mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332994747067134980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611566.post-50504577612481098212008-01-17T08:20:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:20:00.000-05:00I agree.

I paid it off in 5 months because i knew my financial future depended on it. When I paid it off, the interest had blossomed to a healthy 12.5% and I ended up paying almost 50% more then the original loan in interest. If I hadn't paid that off....<BR/><BR/>On the plus side, the wife and I are saving as much money as we can and paying ahead on our other student loans. We hope to have them paid off within 2 years at this rate. :)- Gregory -https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191486012713738949noreply@blogger.com
