The post you linked to on BoingBoing.net and the PDF that the entry was derived from pretty much sum up my approach to repaying my debt. I stayed focused and worked like a madman to raise enough money to repay that NJHESAA loan and, thankfully, I was able to do so last year. Now I’m focused on this USED loan and I’ve got to get this loan repaid sooner rather than later. My goal is still to have it repaid in another year and a half, but that assumes that I’m able to continue sending excessively high payments as my budget allows.

I’m going to write a post in the next few days/weeks which talks about what financial life may be like after the USED loan is repaid. Thanks again for the comment!
