The Door: http://ift.tt/2lx4BbG
My wife and I paid off a large chunk of our student loans last month ($8,000). The problem was it didn't really seem satisfying, it was just money out of our account.
Similar to pulling rings when counting down the days until Christmas; we decided to put 1k squares covering a closet door. Every time we pay 1k off our loans we pull down a square.
Certain squares have goals on them. These are things we can do once we pull the square off the wall.
I think having a visual like this will really motivate us to get this debt paid off sooner rather than later.
TL;DR Cover a door in paper. Pay student loans. Take down paper. Complete goals as you hit them.
