Some interesting developments in the last month. First of all, now I’m including my new student loan, since I’ve started getting reimbursed for my MBA. However, I haven’t applied any of the reimbursement to the loans yet. I was holding on to the cash because of the possibility of buying a car. I’ve decided to wait, so after I receive my next reimbursement check, I’ll be making a large payment to my older student loan with the higher interest rate.
I’m also using some of the money I’ve saved up to buy parts for a new computer I’m building. I’ve bought about $350 worth of parts so far.
