Student College Debt: The Next Bubble?

We've had the Wall Street meltdown and the mortgage meltdown, among other financial catastrophes. Could college student debt be the next big problem?

There is much evidence to say yes. Student debt is at a trillion dollars, and interest on student debt may increase drastically soon. Students are also taking out more private loans, which are more unforgiving than public loans.

What is the answer? I am all for good education and going to the best school that you want and you can get into. Maybe try somehow to tap into creative ways to get money, such as more diligent scholarship search, or using 529s. Parents may need to be better at saving and college planning too.

Khloe And Lamar

I appreciate the guest post, Vito Rivers



Khloe and Lamar is one of those shows that I told myself I wouldn’t watch. I like all of the Kardashians but I really don’t like the way Khloe acts around Lamar most of the time so I decided that this show would not be on my top ten list. Recently I started watching the show after an episode of E! News. I was surprisingly intrigued by Khloe and Lamar’s relationship. I think they have grown out of the baby talk stage for the most part so that annoyance is gone, thankfully. The thing that I really liked about them is that they are always looking out for each other and they make decisions as a team. The episode that I saw was about Lamar possibly moving to Turkey to play basketball during the lockout that was happening in the NBA here in the states. Khloe’s Armenian family took issue with them living in Turkey for historical reasons but K and L worked it out together.
