That can carry over to relationships, Miller adds, saying that may be one more reason why millennial marriage rates are lower. "There are really huge implications for how loans and relationships come together," she says. If one partner has student loan debt, there are conversations and decisions that need to be made about how to treat that debt, she says.
Unfortunately, sometimes those lessons mean millennials feel that they can't take professional or personal risks. Jade Cephas, a 37-year-old data analytics associate, says she decided to work at a bank rather than in a more creative career because she needed stability. "It's hampered my creative side, and I feel like I'm forced to kind of be a worker bee at a corporation because of the fear of not being able to support my household on a creative salary," she says.
MakeIt The collective ache...
MakeIt CNBC is 1:1 just a liberal Megaphone. Ask the ones who paid their debt the way you pay your debt, by working.
MakeIt That is their problem. They made the decision to go in debt. They alone.
MakeIt It’s not hard to get a job you must apply your self.
MakeIt Wah Wah Wah. Don’t borrow so much and go to community college first ,
MakeIt Naaa, if you can't pay student loan you should be barred from getting home loan.

MakeIt What about the GenX kids that paid their own way through college and student loans without Daddy’s help?
MakeIt Can you give us one bone and not call us middle aged we couldn't even start enjoying life until our 30s
MakeIt What is worse? Some of us worked thru college, paid down our debt, built businesses, and covid killed all of it.... now they are bailing out people who didn't work or do anything other than load up with debt. Fuck this fucking system
