In an age of unprecedented longevity, it is more urgent than ever that student and parent borrowers be able to balance their debt with aging-related expenses. In this session, MIT AgeLab researchers will introduce a TIAA-supported mixed methods study about student loans, aging, and individual and family decision making. Researchers will facilitate an interactive conversation about participants’ attitudes and perceptions of their role in preparing borrowers for long-term financial wellbeing. Ultimately, participants will understand the intersecting and compounding impacts of student debt and longevity planning. Participants will leave more prepared to help borrowers and their families conceptualize education loans as part of their aging futures.
