Michael Arceneaux, author of the memoir and soon-to-be television show I Can’t Date Jesus, has struggled with debt as a writer, juggling student loans and trying to maintain perfect credit. In his new book, I Don’t Want to Die Poor, out this week, he breaks down the personal politics of money. “I really wanted to write about how student loan debt can impact every facet of your life,” he tells Jezebel, “and not necessarily just the financial amount you pay but the emotional debt that we carry.”
