Or at least my student loan's now finished.
I've just spoken to the Student Loan Company to find out my balance and my last payment was due on the 10th March. I thought sod it and paid the lot off this month.
That's an extra £130 a month from now on till I die!
Equivalant to £2600 pay rise once you take off income tax etc.
It's wierd but I feel strangly happy and extreamly relieved about it. I guess I have been paying it off over 5 years.
There's still a long way to go before i'm fully debt free but slowly but surely i'll get there. 3 / 4 years is my plan and it won't mean cutting back too much. The beauty of it is that the more I pay off the more I have next month to pay off some more. That's the thory though.
Then the next plan is to pay off the mortgage. 24 and a third years left of that!
