where's your refund going?

Congrats, Hank! I'll be paying mine for a long, long time.

 

If they keep giving me forebearances, I don't plan on EVER paying it off.

 

No, thanks. I just ate.

 

I used a few of those, IJAG. But eventually they stopped giving them out.

 

Never heard of those. How does it work?

 

It's not that great a deal if you ever plan on paying off your loans. Basically, you don't have to make a payment for a year, but the interest keeps racking up.

How long did it take for them to stop giving them, Hank? I've gotten them for about 8 straight years.

 

I am getting married. Weddings are hella expensive.

 

"Why are divorces so expensive? Because they're worth it."

Sorry, it just sprang to mind.

 

Very interesting...I'll tell you more and see if it still sounds like I should do something different.

I've got about 4k left in student loans and just got a nice (used) car in January. Student loan rate is at 3.5 percent while car is 5.25. I was trying to pay off the student sooner so I'd just be down to one payment a month, since the interest isn't what I consider significantly different.

 

Hell. Yes. My company wanted to jumpstart the program this year, so they gave you and extra $150 if you contributed five or more dollars per week. I jumped on that.


I'll get my hair did, buy some new foundation and then put the rest in the bank if I can't find a cheap desktop for Dr. J.

Oh, and I'll put $50 towards a hotel stay in March. Dr. J is getting me Fleetwood Mac tickets for Valentines.

 

Isuzu Trooper transmission repair. Fun, fun.

 

Depending on how much it is, either a refurbished iPod or a Wii and the rest in my savings account. It'd better be close to a grand because I've got deductions out the wazoo this year (moving, tuition, etc.) plus I didn't get a stimulus check. Come on, Uncle Sam, help me out here.
