The return of student loan repayment: What it means for young borrowers in today’s economy
Young adulthood is often seen as a time for gaining independence and setting long-term goals. But for many 18 to 24-year-olds today, it feels less like a launch pad and more like shaky ground.
SaverLife is grateful for the generous support of the Annie E. Casey Foundation in making this research possible.
