Dear Dave,

After struggling with it for several years, I finally made the last payment on my Sallie Mae student loans this week. Do you think I should ask for a formal letter stating that it’s officially paid off?

Dear Angela,

Congratulations on finally kicking that old woman out of your house! It feels great, doesn’t it?

Dear Dave,

The guy who has been my best friend since grade school recently asked me to loan him $5,000. All I have in savings in $5,000, but I would be willing to give him $1,000.
