The feds recently released new data on student loan debt. The Department of Education press release claimed it showed “promising repayment trends.”
If these latest numbers are good news, I’d hate to see the bad.
As the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) pointed out in its blog, total student loan debt increased at a healthy clip last year:
The total amount of outstanding direct student loans stood at $855 billion at the beginning of the first quarter of 2016, distributed among over 30 million recipients.

I think people are figuring out that if you're going to go to all this trouble holding physical bills, taking your deposits out of the bank where they once were very liquid and apparently very safe, and go to the trouble of vaulting them at home or in your company's vaults as in Munich Re, maybe you should start thinking about gold."
