Sometimes I have no motivation to keep my payments going. Don't get me wrong, I pay my debts every month but finding the motivation is hard sometimes. And considering how many more years I have to go, I'm this dog in the meme. What keeps you motivated to tackle your student loans? Do you get any encouragement from friends or fam? Is it just thinking of the road ahead or the progress you see with the payments you're making?

I don't believe I give myself the choice to be motivated or not... It goes straight out of my paycheck so I don't deal with this motivation problem at all. Interesting to know that there are some people who see student debt payment with a lighter heart than I do. I can't wait for this to be done and tilll it is, I'm in marathon mode.

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.

I loathe Monday morning meetings. We have a monthly team meeting at 8:00am PT and it makes me so mad! 😂 It’s always on a Monday, and I have the hardest time getting motivated for them. Normally I wake up at 6:30am, check the news, stocks, shower, eat breakfast, get dressed and start answering emails at 8am.. no speaking meetings until 10am. However, on the team meeting Monday’s, I’m scrambling to do my morning routine and get setup to present/share my screen.. I hate them. We all hate them lol!

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
