Need to get this paid off
Jul. 30th, 2009 05:20 pmIt's disheartening when I get a summary of one of my school loans.
Totals paid on loan since entering repayment:
Total interest paid $706.86
Total principal paid: $1274.57
More than 1/3 is going towards interest, and I have a damned good interest rate.
Granted most of that was from when I still paid on interest (rather than having the interest capitalized on) while the principal payments were deferred because I was still in college.
Still, the ratio is a bit ridiculous.
