Graduating seniors of 2014 will, on average, be the most indebted graduating class ever. This debt carries with it real consequences. For the first time having a college education makes someone less likely to have a home mortgage by age 30. On Monday's Central Standard, the Cash Money Crew offer guidance into how to prepare for and pay back college loans, a reality for about 70 percent of college students.

Guests:

Lucas Bucl, KCH Wealth Management Services
David Jackson, financial planning advisor at Waddell & Reed

People don't make cameos in news stories; the human story is the story, with characters affected by news events, not defined by them. As a columnist and podcaster, I want to acknowledge what it feels like to live through this time in Kansas City, one vantage point at a time. Together, these weekly vignettes form a collage of daily life in Kansas City as it changes in some ways, and stubbornly resists change in others.
