[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would not.  My DH had 70k of student debt when we first met and was paying it down very slowly.  I worked really hard to pay mine off quickly, so I had none.  I wanted to save up and pay his off quickly, he didn’t want to do that.  It’s honestly the biggest thing we fought about and now that he got the loans forgiven we finally don’t really argue about money.  200k of debt is insane for undergrad. [/quote]

This is OP.  I am 25 years old.  I graduated from UVA at the age of 20 and have been working at Apple for the past five years, making around 250K/yr as a SWE.  I have about 500K in the bank.  I live rent free in a condo that my parents own and I don't have to pay for food because I eat breakfast/lunch/dinner with my aunt & uncle who live in the same building as I do.  I don't mind paying off her student loan debt if she is "the one".  My mother was a retired MontCo public school teacher.[/quote]

You make $250K/yr and you’re freeloading off your aunt and uncle for three meals a day? Someone tell that teacher to run.[/quote]

This.  You should find someone equally as cheap. [/quote]

An equally attractive wife with no debt because mommy and daddy foot her entire college career including a useless degree who never had to learn the lesson to be careful of debt, and to be frugal to pay off debt?  Could cost you a lot more in the long run.[/quote]

This is obviously anecdotal, but my most indebted (but highly paid) friend is consistently the most irresponsible with money and continues to take on consumer and other debt to maintain a lifestyle that looks a certain way. People I know with help from parents continue to get help from them to purchase houses and other major expenses. It’s a huge boon. [/quote]
