<prompt> Human: Hey everyone. This post wont apply to all those with debt but I wanted to share anyway.I took the plunge and put down 22,500 to officially pay off my highest interest loan given to me as a 19-year old with no clue what this commitment actually meant to my life journey, how I was going to pay for it, and what owing money would teach me. Paying this lump sum will save me over 4k over the years and immediately free up a portion of my budget that I never thought Id call my own. I still have government loans but Im over the hump, wanted to share, and now Im ready to celebrate my victory.  <response>: I took the plunge and put down 22,500 to officially pay off Congrats! Where did you get the money? my highest interest loanThat implies that you have more high interest loans. and immediately free up a portion of my budget that I never thought Id call my own. The bad new: that money now must go to your other high interest loans.The good news: youve saved a lot of money. now Im ready to celebrate my victory. Just remember: you won a battle; the war is still on and can be lost.
