I PAID OFF MY STUDENT LOANS TODAY!!!

Nine and a half years after getting my bachelors, eight years after getting my masters, four states, three 8000 meter expeditions, and five jobs later, I PAID THEM OFF!!!

I could have paid them off sooner, but I prioritized climbing Mt. Everest, and I don't regret that. My loans were not that big, in fact I think my loans in 2008 at graduation were the median size of the median graduate with loans in 2017, and I ended up with two nice degrees from an expensive school. It feels pretty good. It also feels a little empty. I mean, I used a whole lot of cash that I could have used to travel or do something with but instead I paid for expenses I incurred a decade ago. Yes, it's like buying some freedom, but at this moment I don't feel any changes, to my budget or lifestyle.

Lest people think I'm some super finance guru, I still have a mortgage and I'm nowhere close to one of those super early retirement people who can walk away from working in their 30s. However, I am a very fortunate person to have all of the privilege and advantage that I have which has enabled me to get to this point, not from my own skills. God has blessed me again.

Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com)..
