Today I’m going through my student loan debt pay off strategy and kicking off my debt free journey. I’ll be looking at the exact amounts I owe in student loans, why I want to pay them off now, and how I am using my annual budget to determine how much I can realistically pay each month while still saving for my financial goals and unexpected expenses. Finally, we end with making my first payment.
