Here's your money briefing for Monday, April 17th.

I'm J.R.

Whelan for The Wall Street Journal.

Millennials in their 30s have found themselves on the losing end of a generational wealth gap since they entered the workforce 15 years ago.

That struggle continues as they're piling on debt at faster rates than any other age group.

We'll talk to WSJ reporter Gina Hebe and a 31-year-old mother of two after the break.

Millennials have faced economic challenges since many of them began their careers during the 2008 financial crisis.

But now the group born between 1980 and the early 2000s is falling deeper into debt at a faster rate than any other segment.

We'll talk to a 31-year-old mother of two struggling to make ends meet in a moment.

But first, WSJ reporter Gina Hebe joins us.

Gina, thanks very much for being with us.

So, Gina, a lot of people across age groups have racked up debt as we've emerged from the pandemic.

But how bad has it gotten for millennials?

But still, that's an enormous ramp up.

So how does their debt profile compare to other age groups?

How did millennials get themselves into this really tough debt situation?

Stacey Coakland is among millennials facing this uphill battle.
