A recent WalletHub study shows Ohio has the most student debt in the country with an average of $30,239 per student.  Nationally, student loan debt stands at a staggering $1.3 trillion.

All this debt is having a crippling effect, as Millennials put off marriage, home purchases, having children and saving for retirement.

Here to talk about the effects of student loan debt and ways to deal with it are  financial planner DavidNienaber; Fifth Third Bank Omni-Channel Strategy DirectorJen Daugherty; and Cincinnati financial advisor Chris Desimio.
