The benefits of paying back your student loans early
Paying a loan back early is so incredibly liberating. And you save so much money on interest, too. Great look at the numbers from Rasmussen College.

Introduction to Addiction
For years, my friend has been using Digg. She fell in love with what Kevin Rose sold her 5 of 6 years ago and stuck through the rise and current fall of the site.
In that time, she checked out many sites. Mixx was spammy. Slashdot was moderated. Fark was a little too out there. Reddit looked ugly. Netscape/Propeller kept her attention for a few months, but she always ended back up on Digg.
Last night, I forced her to check out Reddit again. I’ve been mostly lurking for a couple of years but the last few months I’ve been more active. I woke up just now and found that she hadn’t left my house. She was still on the computer. She was still on Reddit.
She hates me now. She asked me why I would do that? It’s like a drug dealer putting his best friend on crack, she said.
Most of all, she hates me for making her realize all the time she’s lost over the last few years. If only I had been a better friend back then.
