Why don't you just put your money in a savings account or a tax free account like a cash ISA? Set up a direct debit, that way you won't miss making payments.

Are half the people answering from the US?In australia wether your married or defacto the tax implications are the same, depends on how you declare it. Anyway- your probably best looking into something like an ING saver. In the past many credit unions had fantastic savings accounts with no fees other than on withdrawl. Since the latest reforms you need to check the fees guidlines booklet from your local credit union. They're usually your best bet. Often your bank will come to the party with a fee free savings for you if you tell them that you will take your savings elsewhere.

I would ask at the bank. See what they have to offer. And think about marriage. Taxes will give you a start .

Girlfriend? You should get married! Your income tax will at least increase. :-)
Congratulations
