This is the remaining balance on my student loan, per the statement I got today.

It's time to pay the sucker off. 8 years and 11 months ago I graduated from college. At that point, the loan was over $12,000. I just dread calling for the payoff amount, as it was a major hassle when we paid off my wife's student loan a few years ago. It took multple phone calls to various parts of the Department of Education that had different hours in different timezones. We often got referred to people that couldn't (or wouldn't) help us. Let's hope it's better this time around.
