Yep, only 16k. It hurt to drop that much all at once, but with the way the loans are structured and so little goes to pay down the principal, I think it was worth it in the end.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Capitalism fucking sucks.

You paid $16k all in one big payment? Wowza look at Mr Moneybags here ๐Ÿค‘

I was very lucky.

In March 2020 lots of oil stocks were dropping down to pennies. I bought a bunch on the cheap and it appreciated to a good price when the world reopened. Sold it all to pay off the debt. Sadly still working on my credit cards.

Smart man! Nice leveraging oil stock prices
