I just don't make enough to pay the student loans back. So I just, I'm like, how do I, how do I get

myself into a loan that accommodates for, I don't know, for when you have a hard time?

This is death, sex, and money. I regret them so much. The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.

Who lobbies for these policy changes?

And need to talk about more.

A lot of folks ignore the fact that we're sort of sitting on this ticking time bomb.

I mean a sale.

And man, when you open up the phone lines to see if people have questions about student debt, they fill up fast. This is the second of our live call-in shows we did this week to answer your questions about student debt. After we put out our series about student loans earlier this summer, you kept reaching out with very concrete and vexing questions about how to deal with the debt you already have.

So we got a few experts on the line and tried to answer some of those questions together.

We're posting both call-in shows on our website, along with all our coverage of student debt.

Go to deathsexmoney.org slash student loans.

We also have a list of resources there if you still have questions after listening to these episodes.

In this show, we talk about a lot of things.

When to consolidate your student loans, what to say when you call your loan servicer,

how to prioritize other things in your life along with your student loan payments,

things like retirement savings,

credit card debt, or, you know, the cost of becoming parents. Thanks to all of you who called in

with questions and who shared. Here's the episode.

We are live on WNYC, 93.9 FM in New York, and I'm joining you from KQED in San Francisco.

And with me to answer your student debt questions is Miranda Marquit.

She's a financial expert and the senior writer at Student Loan Hero, which is a website that provides resources for people figuring out their student loan debt.

Miranda also co-host the podcast, Adulting.tv, which is all about empowering adults to be grownups.
