Monday night’s Nightly Business Report, which airs across the nation, debuted the three part CNBC special titled Millennials & Money, which I filmed back in May with Sharon Epperson. I had a brief feature in Part 1: The Biggest Financial Barriers for Millennials, but was back for Part 3: Student Debt Ripple Effect to discuss the outlook for the millennials.

Just a few weeks after the Experian first-time homebuyer #CreditChat (by the way, be sure to check this out on Twitter every week @ 3pm) this great article via MarketWatch came out with a few mentions from me and other leading industry professionals.
