That's fantastic. It seems like you just started on it when I started reading regularly. Of course, the pace seems speedier when it is someone else. I hate that waiting time for my own financial goals. Congrats on getting the loan paid off by October! That’s fantastic. It seems like you just started on it when I started reading regularly.

Oh and then we were part of a class action lawsuit because of the loan company's sneaky practices and got back our $35 we paid extra... lol. But since then I have been wary of anything that advances my due date. @ dawn – that whole “my next payment goes down” thing makes me nervous. i did that with my spouse’s car loan and somehow, I ended up paying all the interest I would have originally paid even though we paid off the loan several months early.

More and more have no cap at all. Last time I looked, the vast majority had no cap. @ericabiz – actually, that is less and less true. More and more have no cap at all.

You can pay them more than once a month! I didn't think you could after reading your blog but someone on another board pointed out to me that you can. They will take a payment every day if you send it to them at a minimum of a $1 I believe. Now it will say your next payment due is lower by whatever extra you pay but your total amount does go down, and if you just keep making at least your minimum payment anyway it doesn't really matter. Whenever I have extra snowflake money I just pay it through my online bill pay through my bank...it works! I have a Sallie Mae loan as well that I am working on with my snowflakes.
