Hi. I'm a reporter and I'm working on a series about Gen-Z and millennials financial struggles, particularly around using payday loans at the moment. I've seen a lot of posts about shortfalls between rent due and financial aid checks coming in, which I think is a huge issue we need to really spotlight.
The first article published yesterday (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/01/1-in-3-college-age-americans-consider-payday-loans.html), but I'd like to talk to more folks who find themselves in these types of situations--college students who are balancing work and school in order to (hopefully) pay the bills, recent grads who are juggling loans, jobs and living expenses or folks who couldn't finish college but are trying to make it work.
If that sounds like you and you're interested in sharing your story, please comment or send me a p/m.
EDIT: Just wanted to update those who were interested. Here's the second article in this series: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/14/millions-of-millennials-are-taking-out-risky-payday-loans.html Again, if you're interested in sharing your experiences, feel free to reach out!
