- My name's Ryan and I go to a public university.

- I'm Dylan, I go to a private university.

I study finance.

- Strategic communications.

- I am going to be a medical assistant.

- I'm trying to be an actor.

I'm going to college because my parents require that.

- After having my daughter, that's what really pushed me

to continue with my education.

- I live in a house with 60 men,

otherwise called a fraternity.

- Right now I live with my mom, my boyfriend

and my daughter in mom's house.

- I live in a house with eight girls.

I currently share a room.

- Yes.

Yes!

I just buy little snacks that I can add

to my school day.

- Usually I spend about $50 on groceries.

So I had a little leeway, so I could have some fun with it.

So I splurged on the Honeycomb cereal.

- I like to cook fresh foods so we got greens.

- Trojan Bare Skin Premium Lubricant Condoms.

- We spent about a quarter of the $100's on baby formula.

- Honeycomb.

It was a fourth of my budget.

(giggling)

- I love Honeycomb.

- My room consists of a mini fridge,

a toaster over to cook pizza rolls in specifically.

- I always cook dinner for me and my boyfriend

and my daughter.

- I get Uber Eats and stuff sometimes.

- Per month?

Maybe 150, 200, I don't know.

- I don't cook.

I eat out almost everyday.

Nope, nope.

- I don't come from a family that has a ton of money.

So that kinda sucks when everyone else is going out to eat

and you just have to stay home to save money.

- Let's just say I spend 1000, but let's not tell anybody.

- I probably spend around 150 on groceries per month.

(chuckling)

- Never.

- Parties are thrown two times a week.

No.

Um.

I don't, wait.

(laughing)

- I like gin.

I feel fancy when I drink gin.

- So these are (mumbling), if you don't already know.

I'll definitely share with all my roommates.

- No, not at all.

Everyone that I went to high school with

did go off to college, off to university.

I don't see much of them anymore.

Sometimes I do wonder what my life would be like

if I didn't have her.

- I work about 30 to 35 hours a week.

- I take care of her in the morning,

go to school in the afternoon, go to work at night

and then sometimes I'm up until one or two doing homework.

- Sometimes I'll walk dogs.

So usually, most.

Okay, (laughing).

My parents pay for my rent.

This is gettin' personal.

- I have.

- Yes.

This summer for example, I didn't get two of my grants.

- I spent all my money in New York City.

- I had to raise 6000.

- I had the best time of my life

but I was not future thinking.

It was hard, I cried a lot and my mom helped me.

- Money is kind of the only thing

I've really gotten into fights with my parents about

or really just felt, really scared at times honestly.

- I'll be around $15,000 in debt.

- About $15,000.

- $25,000.

- 30 to 35,000 in debt.

But you know, I'm about to be done.

So I don't really wanna think about it anymore.

Probably.

- To be honest, I don't really look at debt

as a huge thing because everyone has it.

Hopefully I'll just get a really cool job acting

in a big movie, like Marvel, maybe, will pay it off.

But, maybe a coffee shop.

(soft upbeat music)

- Here.

Mm.

- You guys watch YouTube?

- [Interviewer] Yeah we have a YouTube channel.
