He shared how he accrued more than $57,000 in debt.

He plans to join the AmeriCorps Go Fellows program, which connects fellows to East Coast schools to mentor groups of children.

He says the program will help him pay off the $50,000 in student loans he took to pursue his dream, being a high school teacher.

In part two, we heard from Gaia Jacobs about her trip to Thailand and the overall debt of $80,000.

She says she's sad she set her film career aside in favor of a steady job, but that she hasn't forgotten about her passion.

For now, she says she'll continue to work as an office manager to pay off as much of her debt as possible.

And we met Mackenzie Somerville.

She moved back in with her mom to save money.

And she's also looking for a higher paying job to earn more income.

She set up an online fundraiser to help pay off her debt and purchase a camper she hopes to live out of.

As for me, well...

I have one more year left in college.

In all honesty, I don't know what awaits me on the other side.

But now I know to take a pause and talk through my finances with someone to hold me accountable.

I plan to attack my debt piece by piece.

Personally, I might tackle the balance with the highest interest rate first just to save more money in the long run.

And most of all, I believe that because I'm learning how to manage my finances now, I'll be able to handle my debt better when I'm older.

So, I'm not as afraid of debt anymore.

And that's it for the third and final part of Gen Z and the Debt Trap, a special series of Your Money Briefing.

This episode was hosted and produced by me, Tadeo Ruiz Sandoval, with additional production support from Ariana Aspuru.
