My last monthly student loan debt roundup of 2009 is upon me and I'm happy to say I cleared over $700 in debt this month. Still seemingly a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of six figure debt but I'm satisfied for now with the progress.
One thing I'm not too thrilled to admit is that I failed to meet one of my 2009 Resolutions of paying off my smallest loan, titled "law school loan." In January when I declared that I would pay it off this year the balance stood at $1932 and today it stands at $1269 despite the fact that I paid more than the amount due and threw a couple of extra payments at it throughout the year. The 8% interest is killer.
Anyway, more beating myself up about failing my resolutions will come later. For now, here are the cold hard facts:
Not a bad month. Here's hoping 2010 brings a lot more progress.

I think you're making great headway. Compared to a couple of years ago, you've come a long way. Happy New Year, Sallie!
you must be feeling so good about all of those "paid in fulls" on the right hand side! amazing progress this year - and $700 down during the holidays? that's fantastic. happy new year!
I hope your student loan bills will be paid off as soon as possible :)
