    Progress is progress - keep up the good work, Big T!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Congratulations! If you don't mind my asking, how long is the program?

    5 Years is the DMP, My objective is to step up the payments after the first year if I can, But to answer your question it is 5 years.

    I know alot of people are aginst DMP's , there were 3 companies that would not work with me at all unless I was in one? Well thats where I am for now..

    Hey Big T, glad to hear you're making progress! Keep plugging away. If you keep up the intensity, 5 years will look silly compared to the actual duration.
