<prompt> Human: The Door: My wife and I paid off a large chunk of our student loans last month 8,000. The problem was it didnt really seem satisfying, it was just money out of our account. Similar to pulling rings when counting down the days until Christmas; we decided to put 1k squares covering a closet door. Every time we pay 1k off our loans we pull down a square. Certain squares have goals on them. These are things we can do once we pull the square off the wall.I think having a visual like this will really motivate us to get this debt paid off sooner rather than later.TL;DR Cover a door in paper. Pay student loans. Take down paper. Complete goals as you hit them.  <response>: What a great idea!My husband and I made a paper chain with links representing each 2K of our debt. Every time we pay down our debt by 2K, we cut a link. Its so motivating!
