Well you know, November has come...

...and the holiday season is suddenly upon us. There are always plenty of stories about debt at this time of year, and this year is no exception:

-A Cornell student writes on the culture of debt.

-American Medical News writes on the student debt of physicians, as does CNN, while the Ledger Independent notes that public defenders have much student debt as well.

-NorthJersey.com has an article on graduates buried by debt, as does the News Advance.

-In Illinois, the Quincy Herald-Whig reports that "Gov. Rod Blagojevich announced last week $1.22 million in grant funding for Illinois Veterans Home nurses who are paying off student loans."

-GenDebt Commenter Joe has started a website called Advice On Time to provide free advice on all sorts of issues, including some debt issues.

-Meanwhile, Congress is still working on reining in student loan lenders' deceptive marketing practices.

Student Loan Debt Clock is at $465 billion.

Have lovely Thanksgiving from GenerationDebt.
