I paid school off, my car, ALL credit card debt, etc. My reward was going to be the 42" LCD TV that I've been waiting for for so long. Instead my reward was a failed transmission.... I'm now back to square one, and I had to put the tranny on my credit card because I attacked my debt before saving up an emergency fund.
I'm only 25 though, so I have plenty of time.....just wanted to complain. ;D
I feel your pain. We're not anywhere near paying off my student loans or our newly-acquired mortgage, but as fate would have it, the day after we got possession of the home - BAM - here comes over a grand in car repairs that need to be done.
Well I was fairly lucky when it comes to my student loans. I worked two jobs all during college to pay for school as I went, so I only had to pay off the last semester (which I decided to take easy and only work one job during). I only had about $6K to pay off when I graduated in December. It was funny how it worked. I paid everything off one Friday about a month or so ago, and the following week was the week that my car decided it was in its best interest to not work any more.
