Let’s Throw Some Money at Our Problems: March 2014 Check-in

By Mike Dang March 31, 2014

It’s time to check in on our debt payments and savings goals again. If you’re joining us for the first time, you can read about our decision to publicly keep track of our debt here.

Pull up those balances!

Logan’s paying off a Citi Card, which currently has an APR of 19.99 percent, and a minimum monthly payment of $47.

March 2014 Balance: TK! Logan will send me an update once she gets my message.

I’m paying off a private graduate student loan currently serviced by Discover. The interest rate on this loan is 2 percent, and the minimum monthly payment is $147. The original balance on this loan was $22,377.

Remember, if you pay off one of your debts or reach a savings goal, email me your address and I’ll mail you a note to congratulate you. I am behind on sending out some cards (it takes time to handwrite them), so if you got in touch, expect them in April!
