OI can't pay more interest on mine. Once a year I can put down money towards the principle though.

this is a useful thread.

almost as good as the one about making your own wine.

How about not forcing loans on kids by telling them they have to go to college? They let people who barely passed high school go to college. Like it or not, to get a head of the educational curve, we need to weed people out at each level. I truthfully wouldn't mind public colleges paid for by the government if they based entry purely on the merits of each student. You got a D average in HS? No college for you. Face it, some people need to get left behind. The government is Harvey Dent on these school loans and is actively raping students by not allowing private loans and using the debt/interest as a revenue stream.

I'm glad you're not losing sleep Menson, but straight A students really should be the ones losing sleep, because with a few exceptions, they focused more on passing tests than getting a well rounded education or applying their skills/talents... which quite possibly put them far behind in competition with people who've been in the real world for some time... or who are naturally inclined towards financial success using the myriad avenues available to them other than overachieving in academics.
