Didn't get below $6k (which was a hope), but that's ok. Just amazed to look back at the progress I made this past year. I have managed to pay off over $9700 this year on my student loan, almost $10k. That is unbelievable to me to think I could do that at the beginning of 2020. 2021 will be the year I torch this loan for good.

Civex that is awesome! I can't wait for my final payment, the joy you must be feeling.

Hey all looking back at 2020 this year has been a great year of student loan pay down for me. I hope all of you also had a good year. Give yourself a pat on the back for working hard towards your goal this past year. This year as been a tough one and I am sure some did not meet their goals as they wanted to because life just sometimes gets in the way. Just remember part of the fight is not giving up even when it gets hard. I look towards 2021 and feel hopeful that I will torch this loan for good this upcoming year and I wish you all the best in meeting your new goals for 2021 as well.

Thanks for the prompting @nessa, I have created a new thread for 2021, but have created it with the idea of it being an continuous thread for each year hereafter! The link to the new thread is as follows: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/throw-down-the-gauntlet/student-loan-challenge-(2021-and-beyond)/
