Here’s the numbers in January 2010, although I am using the student loan amounts from March 2010 because that’s when my student loans came out of forbearance and my dear friend, capitalized interest, was applied. (In other words, it’s a more realistic look at the student loan balances.):
Citibank: $7,915.79
Chase/Borders: $4,515.19
Chase/Wamu: $7,482.80
Discover: $10,422.61

I’m sorry, but I believe some mild profanity is in order. HOLY SHIT. I paid off $23,500 in unsecured debt in 2010. That is an assload of debt.
What I plan to do in 2011 will be a different post. I hope it is close to this exciting…

Thanks, ladies. I forgot that Citibank was paid off in 2010, so I was amazed when I totaled the numbers.
