Student Loans.

For being a guy who was always good with math and financials, I sure did do a number on myself when it comes to student loans.  It's probably time to buckle down and get those out of my life forever.  But a debt pushing the size of my yearly income isn't an easy thing to overcome. 

You'd think I'd have my degree by now if you saw how much I owe.  Atleast eBay will take care of the rest of my degree for me.  But seriously.  Ouch.
I've got to say, getting my first degree at American Intercontinental University was great and all, but it didn't really get me anywhere.  It really just got the ball rolling on spending too much on education.  I really really regret registering for classes through them.  I should have gone to school the traditional way, at a physical campus, and learned all I could about the Financial Aid Process.

Now I'm old, too late for scholarships, make too much for really any aid.  Luckily,  like I said, eBay will help finish off my Marketing degree, and I am sure they'll help with any supplemental education I want to get when I finish with that.  But, until I push hard and get this mountain of a student loan taken care of, I'm probably not going to be really happy with my financial status.

But hey, working TOWARD paying it off will feel good.  The checks won't be a happy thing to write, but, I'm going to write them.  And when I write that final one, I am going to throw a giant party.  And at that party, I'll have worked too hard to be ballin' on a budget.
