private student loans.....check!

as of last night, i have officially paid off my private students loans. it feels pretty good, but i still have a good chunk of federal student loans. i'm still on a great path.

i'm sure some people from my class would be shocked to know i have that much paid off (on one income), but it all comes down to living below your means. i choose to live in a place that is extremely simple and small so that i can put that extra money away. i haven't gotten a lot of material possessions since my move. i, oddly, take pride in the fact that i could still pack up my house in my car at any moment.

i'm just excited to have it paid off soonish so that i'm completely free! yippee!!

on a side note, my first article was published this month. you can check it out at: http://www.jaapa.com/Carcinoma-of-unknown-primary-Searching-for-the-origin-of-metastases/article/141067/

it is exciting because there are no co-authors. i'm currently working on 2 others....hopefully to go up on the journal level. that journal is for physician assistants and the article is written to the general practitioner without any oncology experience.

  1. Wow! So impressive! I think there were more big words in that one article than in my entire vocabulary. Congrats!
