I don't know what to do. Right now I have about 14,000 plus my student loans hanging over my head. I really want to get them paid off before I head back to grad school again in the Fall of 2008. However, I really want to travel with Erin. But that would put me even further in debt, and not allow me to dig myself out at all. I don't even know if I could keep my head above the water while I was doing it. I really just don't know...I don't know if I can stay in the UP for another year, but it would allow me to pay off everything but my student loans, and I would be able to start grad school with a clean slate. Which would be a totally different experience, since in DC I always had money hanging over my head. I should do the boring thing and stay at home and pay it all off, but the call of the unknown is really calling me, and I need a change to my routine. Grrr...I don't know what to do! I wish I could win the lottery ;)
