Took it out in the early 1990s to finance my graduate education.

Then Sallie Mae went private in 1997; then a corporation called "Navient" bought my loan last year.

Now I make a monthly payment to a private corporation for the "privilege" of servicing my loan.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
