This thread may not be best suited for the “badassity” section but I thought it fit here better than anywhere else. I originally was not planning on posting this on MMM as it is simply self-serving but realized that this is the only place that I can post it without having to be concerned that I will upset or surprise anyone with the information below. Here goes:
Tonight is the last night at my second job that I have been working at for the past 2.5 years to pay off my student loans as quickly as possible. I have run the numbers and posted them below and I cannot wait to leave after clocking out at 2am tomorrow morning. I will finally be able to get back to a normal life with additional free time as well as additional resources to expedite my FIRE goals. It definitely has not been a lot of fun but with it almost all said and done I am so glad that I was able to stick with it to knock out this debt so quickly.

* This is a fun number to review. Our team takes a 40+/- minute long break every night at midnight. I use this precious time to slunk down in the only comfortable chair in the break room and take a power nap before returning back to work. Some of my naps have been longer than others but I estimate that I sleep roughly 22 minutes per break.
