How can you get motivated to kill your student loan when there’s nothing you can actually see, other than some numbers?

Killing your student loan is such an abstract thing that it can be really hard to visualize your progress. Especially if you’re not a numbers person. If you’re a visual learner, you’d be missing out big time. What can you do?
- Create a big colorful poster for the refrigerator, showing your loan balance
- Fiddle with spreadsheets to chart your progress
- Use a free online tool to literally SEE your loan balance falling, in minutes
‘Nuff said. I just discovered this tool the other day on Google, and it is magnificent.
It’s called “Tuition.IO” – and the name is just about as clever as the tool. Get it? “tuition I owe”?
Here’s what it does:
- sync with your existing student loan account provider (i.e. Sallie Mae),
- grab your loan data, and
- create some impressive graphs that show you how much faster your loan dies if you pay extra
It’s simple and genius. Setup took me less than 5 minutes, and I was instantly impressed with the visual overview of my loans, especially the slider button showing me the power of changing my repayment amount.
I was so excited that I went ahead and created a 5-minute video tutorial explaining how to sign up for this free service, how to sync your loan accounts, and what it all looks like once set up.
I will definitely be using this every month to track my progress, and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone fighting off their student loans.
