I made an extra $30 payment to the Undergrad loan this month — Neilson Ratings is paying me to do a week-long TV survey. I’m pretty excited about it! Hopefully if it works out they will ask me to do more paid research in the future. I have very strong opinions about the tv shows I watch, and am often bummed out because they always seem to get canceled far too early.
Otherwise, not a lot of “debt news” to report this month. Now that my debt is down to the undergrad loan, it’s not as high of a priority. We are shifting our focus to building up retirement, giving more to charity, and saving for our next home. More on this in future posts.
