Fees
« on: February 17, 2009, 10:28:00 pm »
Got an invoice for the fees for first semester with 20% discount.  I have been thinking of paying them, I can afford it but do you think it will make no alot of difference in the long run?

What are you doing with your fees pay now or later?

Brendan has posted links to this before.

The overall gist is:
if you're super rich and have tons of disposable money then pay it off now. (ie taking 6k or whatever a year off you will make little difference to you financially)
In all other scenarios (including the scenario where you could just scrape together the money to pay it) you are better off leaving it for as long as possible, ie make no voluntary payments at all on it.

mm that wasn't the gist. whether or not you ought to pay off the HECS debt depends on other factors. having lots of cash doesn't mean that you should pay it off.
