[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all due respect, it sounds like you and your spouse went to college and grad schools on full rides. There was no "investment." What if you had taken out loans for all of that? Would you want a way to pay them back?[/quote]

And also they were very low income to begin with.  People who are MC and UMC do not want to become poorer because they paid $$$ for college and are only making $ after their education. [/quote]

+1.  My dad was a surgeon who remarried when in MS. My step mother was a single parent nurse and came from economic instability.  My stepsisters were my age. One killed herself to get into vet school, and then got a prestigious residency/fellowship  in a sought after sub-speciality.  I remember being shocked when my SM encouraged her not to take it because it would delay her earning “big money” by 2 years— even though she earned enough to be self supporting and it probably doubled her lifetime earnings. Even after ten years of economic stability, she had no ability to think beyond money coming in this month. It’s hard to look at the financial  big picture when you’ve had to worry even single month about making rent.
