It could be the making of both of you! Joined, you'll make different decisions about money and your careers.

Or, it could be the decision you look back on and hate yourself for.

Eyes wide open, OP! What are the plans you guys can put in place to build a comfortable life for yourselves?

This is OP. I am very concerned with this picture. I did not know about his parents financial problems until a year into dating him. Neither of us have trust funds and we are saving every penny to get married since we will have no financial support from either sides of our family. Looking at our situation at the moment, it appears that we have in front of us a life full of financial struggle where we will both work long hours, not earn enough and always will feel stretched out and penniless. I did not envision this for myself.[/quote]

You both could do very well, it's how you tackle it.  First thing I would rent a cheap place, no suv's, etc. and I would put a lot of the combined income to pay off the loans. Have a sit down and both agree to the plan. As for his parents, you both can't support them. Take some meals over, but the parents might need to find jobs.  Write it down if you have to, and stick to it. [/quote]
