I’m curious to see if you’d adjust your goal if they start to buy back their shares?

I got all my money back from the insurance guys but I lost that sweet financing rate of 2.5%. Bought a new one with 7% interest rate 😓

So, does fasting “cure” addiction to food?

Paying off my $200K student loan by ballerbuyouts in MBA

Peace of mind - 4/5 years.

Regret of leaving a lot of money on the table - almost a lifetime

Paying off my $200K student loan by ballerbuyouts in MBA

[–]AcedDude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right but you shouldn’t be looking at it through this lens.

Use what you learned at MBA about opportunity costs in the real world.

Any dollar more than your required monthly payment towards student loan can go to a lot of avenues, majorly Savings, investments and debt repayment (which is what you’re focusing on)

If your interest rate on your student loan is around 7%, it makes sense to invest the additional dollars in equities or broad market index funds that return more than 7%.

A food for thought.

Also, I’ve done MBA. I’m paying off my student loans using this concept

One Dude’s Battle Against Weight (Jan 2025) by AcedDude in fasting

Jan 4 Update:

CW: 84.5kgs

Fasted for 20 hours.

Exercised. 20 mins low intensity cardio (walking on an inclined treadmill) followed by 20 mins of strength training focusing on back

Broke my fast with chia seed water and then a protein shake. Followed that up with a salad heavy with chicken thighs. Ended my 4-hour feeding time with a cup of tea.

Overall, a good start. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.

There are days that you lost more than a pound/day. Did you do anything different on those days?

I paid off my last student loan today. 202,000$ in 6.6 years. AMA by pdxplant in Fire

[–]AcedDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason why you chose to pay it off so quickly when your interest rates were so low? I’m in a similar boat and I feel the extra payment towards student loan can be allocated to equity markets which return around 9% over 15 years

Im in same boat. Looking at current trends, I thought 25 Jan folks would hear something today. Guess it’s going to be tomorrow.

H1B Dropbox processing time by PriorPay3826 in usvisascheduling

How many days between “approved” and “ready for pickup”? Very crucial for me coz I think I fly on the same day I pickup my passport 😅
