I'm 41, born when my parents were in their very early 20's, and my Grandpa missed Korea during his draft, he was out before it started. You must have much older parents.

Wow, that fancy talking sure makes me think you're smart. Maybe you can help me. If I make x and everything I need to live costs x+y, what do I do? Die slowly...? Work a 27 hour day?

This morning I was thinking of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". If you've read it (and you should, it's a good novel) you know it's about worker rights and the story follows a guy who happens to work at a meat pa

This predated that change. Sallie Mae use to directly fund student loans, now Navient only manages them for the Dept. of Ed. Edit: forgot to say non-dischargable goes back way before that switch. I have personal experience around 2001, but
