Just paid off my student loans!
« on: September 09, 2016, 05:12:08 PM »
Paid off my student loans just this past month :-D 

Although the funny thing is that closing out the loan dropped my credit score by 22 points because I "closed a line of credit."  SMH - another example of how credit scores are dumb.

I've been watching mine slowly go down as I now have zero debts.  It's all a game and you're never going to win!

Enjoy the feeling.  I paid mine off a few years ago and the memory of that day still puts a silly grin on my face.
