<prompt> Human: I realized that I have been spending too much money on random things online when I could instead be paying off my student loans faster. I decided that for every dollar I spend on random things online, I will put a dollar towards my student loans in addition to monthly payments. That way I am discouraged from buying random things, but can feel good about contributing to my student loans when I do buy stuff.Seems like a sort of common sense thing, but it just occurred to me to start doing this, so I thought Id share in case it could help anyone else.  <response>: Sounds like an awful idea. Making your frivolous online purchases okay because its forcing you to pay off your student loans faster. Just up your monthly student loan payment and properly budget your online spending.
