Law school is officially a sunk cost

Don't want to brag, but must express my excitement that my student loans are PAID OFF!!!!

I had to borrow money from my parents, Russell, and Bethany in the past year in order to accommodate what were sometimes overly optimistic student loan payments...and I was also greatly blessed during law school to have scholarship/two student jobs/help from parents/inherent cheapness. My favorite cheap-during-law-school story is when I wanted to go to the opera so desperately, but tickets were $8 (and I didn't have $8), so I went through my car and found enough change and got to go!!!

I take that back, my favorite cheap-during-law-school story is when I told my law school friends I couldn't afford rent, and then the next week I went last minute to Cancun for the weekend. hmm. They were all very puzzled...still not sure how that worked out. But very happy it did!!!!

  3. I'm impressed, and it has to feel good to have that off the books.

    Oh, and if you want to keep making payments to stay in the habit, just make the check out to me. I'm a nice guy and would be happy to help out.

  4. Oh congratulations! That's so exciting! That was amazingly fast! I don't think my brothers loans are paid off and he graduated from law school 3 or 4 years ago. Nice work.
