I'm going to talk about student loans until I'm blue in the face, and you probably know that the Biden administration opened up a new loan repayment plan.

0:13.7

It is called the SAVE Plan.

0:15.4

It says this new repayment program opens today for more than 20 million student loan borrowers. And these payments are based

on their income and their family size. Okay. The Biden administration announced that the savings on a
