What started out as an essay about one man’s struggle with student loan debt in the New York Times, has morphed into Michael Arceneaux’s next best seller, arceneaux.com/books">I Don’t Want to Die Poor. Michael Arceneaux, the author of the New York Times bestseller, arceneaux.com/books">I Can’t Date Jesus: Love, Sex, Family, Race and Other Reasons Why I Put My Faith in Beyonce just released his second book, in April 2020. This book, I Don’t Want To Die Poor, is all about money.  

In our conversation we talk about Michael’s struggles with student loan debt, the pressure to get a college education, and the faults of the student loan system. Michael is not a “money expert”, which makes this conversation even more enlightening and real. If you have ever been in debt (or are currently in debt), listen in as we discuss the struggle to not die poor.
