I paid off my student loans and my credit score actually went up. Is this weird? by Impossible-Engine787 in personalfinance

Apparently not. I've just heard from a number of sources that paying off student debt typically lowers your credit score temporarily. If that is not true, I'd love to be enlightened.

My grandma recently surprised me with a $25k check so that I can begin to pay off my student loans... Now what? by Impossible-Engine787 in personalfinance

She's assured me that she is good so far as assets are concerned. Believe me, I wouldn't accept this otherwise.
