Plan

Student loan payoff plan: from monthly blur to a dated finish

Student loans are long-term by design, which is why they feel endless. A payoff plan changes the feeling: total the loans, pick a strategy, schedule the payments — and the calendar shows the last payment date instead of a vague someday.
