Bloomberg hammers this: For Q4 2018, student loan delinquencies totaled $166.4 billion. An account is classified as "delinquent" when it is 90 days overdue. The main reason is that what graduates earn is not enough to enable the payment of the student loan debt.

The to do list debate never gets old. Some swear by their agendas saying that having a to do list is the only thing keeping them sane. Others shrug and state that listing up a bunch of tasks never helps them get more done. How come people fail and succeed with to do lists at the same time? The explanation is rather simple: a lot of us think that having a to do list per se will immediately result in better productivity. Review your list regularly.
