No doctors, just three debt-ridden people creating a family and trying to fix our past mistakes.
Interesting choices. My husband is definitely up for eliminating the loan from my dad next, and I'm more or less in agreement; it's totally the least logical next step, since there's no interest and no minimum payments, but it's got a strong emotional pull. I've paid back $6K in 5 years, so I think my dad knows I'm good for it, but I'd still like to get the rest back to him.
I do miss the rush of getting rid of a smaller debt--I knocked out 7 debts in the past year and a half, but I feel stalled now that I'm working on such a big one (and with layoff and furlough, that one's not going as fast as the others). However, my logical side tells me to either pay off the credit card (AX 3.99%) or the highest-interest student loan (DL at 6.55%) after the CO loan and my dad's loan.
Anyway, I've probably got a year or more to mull it over, but this forum discussion brought the dilemma back to mind for me. Thanks for your input!
