March, the month I have been dreading for a long time. Well, for six months. That is the length of time I have had my student loans suspended and now I must resume the payments. The enormous payments that crippled me in the past. But things are different now - I have no credit card bills, housing fees are less and in theory I should easily be able to make the payments.
The thing is - I am making less money and my pay is still not right. I have yet to be paid housing allowance and I was due a little sign on bonus that is nowhere in sight. I was going to use the bonus to redo the student loans and make the payments more budget friendly.
I have two sets of student loans. One is only a few grand and the payment is only $100 a month. The next is a whopping $660 a month and these are the newbies that I will be paying on for 10 long years! Yikes. I thought if I could cut that in half and make double payments I may be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We will see.
I also need to file taxes for 2010 and have not a clue where all my forms are - moving sucks! Something else to add to the long to do list!
