[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My saint husband paid off $60k of grad school debt for me (over time, low interest rate, not lump sum) as I SAH with our children. He knew I had this debt when we married, and also that I wanted to SAH. He was completely supportive of both but I would never have married him without disclosing! We celebrate 20 years of marriage this year and I have not used my grad degree since, although I do now work PT in an unrelated field. He is a high earner and was not phased by this at all. I don't know if his parents knew about my student loans or not, but if they did they never indicated any concern over it. We are all close. [/quote]

Were you stressed taking out all of that debt for a field you did not really want to work in?
Or was your plan all along to focus on finding a man who would pay it off?

I just can’t imagine approaching life with this mindset.

DP:  I have two BS degrees and an ms.  I worked for 6 years and was making 6 figures when had first kid(25 years ago so 6 figures was a high salary).  Decided to SAHP and never looked back.  Spouse was fully supportive as it allowed them to fully focus on work and advance (c suite for 20 years, ceo for 10+)

Some of us decide to do what is best for our family knowing that we are in a healthy living marriage and will not be penalized for focusing on family.

Happily married 30+ years.
