Gen X Burdened by Student Debt Faces Retirement Challenges

Imagine you borrowed money for school and are still paying it back, even after working for a long time.

That's the problem for many people in their 50s, called Gen X, who took out student loans.

The amount they owe has grown over time, making it hard to save for retirement or buy a house.

The government has made changes to how these loans work, sometimes making it harder to pay them back.

Some people worry about not being able to afford their payments or even losing part of their paycheck.

They're now telling their kids to avoid student loans if possible.
