[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hahahahahha. OP, your HHI is 400k. What in the world do you have to whine about here? It sounds like your sister had a rough start to life and has struggled to get to where she's at. You should be grateful that you're wealthy and will probably never struggle to pay for a home, unlike the vast majority of people in the world. I hope you're embarrassed. [/quote]

Some two lawyer couples graduate with more than 400,000 in student loan debt.  It's very difficult to get out from under that.[/quote]

Then they chose unwisely as well. Picked big name schools at full freight rather than a less prestigious school that offered merit aid. Selected a less lucrative specialty in law. Opted for a market like DC saturated with JDs.[/quote]

Seriously. Let's say they came out of NYU Law with $300k between the two of them (average for that school today, and OP and husband would have gone several years back and incurred less debt).

That's a monthly loan payment of about $3500. It's a big responsibility but presumably they started paying it off before they had kids. And on their income and even their starting combined income, pre-kids, sharing household expenses, they should have been able to knock those loans out.

I know, because I paid down my loans while at BigLaw without breaking a sweat and without even denying myself the nice things in life that compensate for the emotional death that accompanies securities law practice.

Anybody who can't make that kind of HHI work for them needs to work with an adviser. [/quote]
