Christmas Fund…

My Christmas Fund is complete. I received an unexpected $50 graduation gift in Monday that will bring the grand total to $500. I also noticed that my piggy bank is almost full so I need to get the change counted to see how much I have. Nevertheless, one more goal achieved which is a good feeling especially since October was a tough month with over $1,000 in student loan interest capitalizing. I can’t seem to keep up.

Make sure you take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to optimize your fund. Good job on that.

$1000 in student loan interest. Wow I can't even begin to imagine seeing that mess.

That's great news about the Xmas fund! (I'm still in denial about starting mine.)

But the student loan interest? Ouch. I remember paying $1,000 once during grad school on the unsubsidized portion of the interest that had accrued, but I think it was the interest for a quarter of the year at the very end of my program (when I was at my $49k debt peak). $1,000/month? That's rough.

But on the plus side, now that you've finished law school and passed the bar you'll be able to maximize your income and pay that debt off!
