Book notes from: The Great Depression: A Diary, by Benjamin Roth (2009)

Roth 's book c ompares the economic conditions in 1873 to 1929-1934: The 1873 panic was preceded by Civil War- then 8 or 9 years of hectic prosperity, speculation, rising prices, corruption in government- and then sudden panic, bank closings, etc. Organized movements to stop foreclosures. Wild schemes to inflate currency. "The panic of 1873 lasted 5-6 years," and the Great Depression started in Fall 1929 and lasted through the early to mid 1930's, in which 4 years were hard until they started seeing true signs of recovery.

Student Loan Success Strategies - Who is involved

Participants in your education loan repayment include:      A. Lender - (Who loaned you the money) Bank, savings and loan, credit union or organizations.       B. Borrower/Student/Debtor, etc. - You.      C. Holder - (Who owns it now) Current owner of the loan and has legal title.  You will likely change who you make payments to.      D. Guarantor/Co-Signer - (Who will pay if you can't pay or stop paying) - Parent, other adult, state agency or private, nonprofit organization who promises to pay if you either miss or stop making payments, die, go on disability, or file bankruptcy. Note: Servicers may also participate, which are companies that specialize in handling billing, collections, and deferments for loans.   Info from "Success Strategies & Repayment Realities: A Guide to Repaying Student Loans," published by Access Group, Inc.
