A big thanks to sweetkerryline for starting the 2018 thread!
Background
Tax Accountant, graduated with an MSA in 2015. All told I had around $37,500 in student loans upon graduation. I finally got serious about paying down loans in early 2017, joining the 2017 challenge at the end of February. Here is what my loan situation looked like at that time:
Loan 1: $1,050 @ 0.40%
Loan 2: $3,900 @ 2.15%
Loan 3: $13,225 @ 4.50%
Loan 4: $15,050 @ 4.78%
Total: $33,225
The goal in 2017 was to pay off loan 4 in full, which I did in November.
Beginning balance and goals for 2018
Loan 1: $461 @ 0.40%
Loan 2: $2,859 @ 2.15%
Loan 3: $12,302 @ 4.50%
Total: $15,622
The goal is to pay off all student loan debts by the end of 2018. My first focus is on loan 3, where I will be putting extra payments in each month. Loan 1 will be paid off this year simply by making the minimum month payments. If I only made the minimum payments on loan 2, I would pay it off during the summer of 2019. I may go this route, since the interest rate is so low. However, the emotional pull of being completely debt free is rather strong, so I will likely just try to pay it all off this year.
The potential wrinkle to this plan is that my wife and I are expecting our first child in June, but I think we should be in good shape and it shouldn't impact repayment plans much.
Good luck to everyone!
