[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, have you saved for your child's education? completely funded? If not your masters is a luxury you can't afford.

It sounds like you're taking on too much debt for too little return.[/quote]

That's crazy.  A master's that helps a SAHM return to the job market?  An education and job for the mom is a "luxury you can't afford".  NUTS![/quote]

I would actually say the same thing if a DH wanted to get a master's degree to make $50,000 per year.[/quote]

Same here.  Masters aren't bachelors, they are wicked expensive and many/most have a very low ROI.  My own DH has brought up getting a masters (in addition to his JD) so he can expand into a certain kind of nonprofit work and I was bluntly honest that we cannot now nor likely ever afford for him to take on more student loan debt for a grad degree that won't increase his salary at all.  I myself would love to go back for an MBA but we cannot afford it since my employer won't pay for it and the field I'm in wouldn't have the returns we would need to justify it.  [/quote]
