Ah, Student Loans, How I Have Not Missed You!

July 19, 2023 This week, student loans are all over the news as the Biden Administration began to roll out its Plan B for loan forgiveness. I have not had to think about my loans for the past three years, but I knew that they were always looming out there in space.
