THANKS AGAIN

I'm confused. I just went back and read your post again. I'm glad you got out of the jam this year, but if I'm understanding correctly you didn't rent out any points or apply any money towards your loan? After rereading your first post, it was easy to see the stress that you were feeling when you wrote it. My concern is that at some point in the future you are going to have the same experience. I'd still suggest that taking one year off, take the money that you would've spent on tickets, travel, expenses and couple that with the revenue you get from renting your points and pay down your loan balance a bit. I think you will be glad you did in the long term. But I could be wrong. Good luck.
