There used to be consolidation loans for private loans. I have heard that the banks that offered them (Wells Fargo, Citi) stopped when the banking industry "tanked".  It is odd that your interest rate is so high on those loans...I have 4 Wells Fargo Collegiate loans that started in 1995-1999.  They are still variable r...more

It still goes great with vodka.  Mmmmm....Redbull Stoli....aghhhaghhghghhg.

Makes perfect sense to sell a monument out of a state that pays its bills, so states that don't can keep up.  Who edits these articles?  I'm sure that Mt.
