Hey there, this is Haley from Boston, Massachusetts.

After throwing everything I could spare, my student loans over the past few years while

interest was paused, I'm finally preparing to submit my last payment to settle my balance

You take advantage of no interest rates when you have them in this life.

Congratulations, Haley.
