#1 - Our Student Loan Crisis And The Last Seven Years

Description

We got screwed.

Student loans can be a nightmare. Lemonade from lemons, though - ours helped create this podcast, and rediscover the last 7 years of our lives.

(Disclosure - this post may contain affiliate links. Price is the same, & a portion of the sale supports this site & podcast. Yay! All opinions are our own, never bought or sold.)

Who ARE you, even?

Darrell and Megan are 30, married, and figuring out life. As part of the "millennial" generation, there are things they deal with that, perhaps, other generations don't experience. Student loans, the job hunt, buying a home and starting a family - it all works differently for this generation. After a nightmarish revelation about Megan's student loans - they took a moment and realized all this.

And they thought - we can't be in this alone. Let's share our experiences.

Before we really get into it and podcasting, you're probably going to need some context.

SO, in this episode, we meet our hosts Darrell and Megan. We get to know them and what the last 7 years of their lives (since graduating college) have been like. We discover the journey that led them to where they are today, and find it's probably the same journey many other millennials have experienced. And finally - we hear the rough truth of Megan's student loans, how they're forging a path forward, and why we're all here.

On This Episode:

  • Meet Darrell and Megan!
  • Discover the (probably) typical post-college millennial journey
    • From moving back in with parents to finding their first place (and second)
    • The job hunt, and finding purpose
    • Making a home
    • Dealing with some of life’s harsher realities
  • Learn what happened with Megan’s student loans, and why this podcast even exists.
