    Easy credit and people unable to pay back loans smells like what we went through with housing.

    I used to give away my $2,000 product for free — and it made me realize I was overlooking a crucial part of how people view money

    Unfortunately the Bush administration put the kibosh on that when the bankruptcy laws were changed.

    It's all going be extras at college that are so expensive. Just a classroom and a desire to learn is all that is needed.

    Federal subsidized student loans are one of the few things that can be taken out of social security payments. They get the money eventually.
