This fall, many young adults who just graduated are starting new jobs and taking their first steps toward financial independence.

But there are daunting new expenses and an overwhelming amount to learn as you start to run your own financial life.

What money habits should you start early? How should you approach looming student loan payments? When retirement is forty years away, should you even think about it now?

Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two financial experts about launching your financial life in your twenties.
