[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to ask, what the hell kind of degree does he have that cost 180k in loans?  Unless he is big law or a dr with major opportunity to make a lot of money, I would think this is a huge red flag on poor financial planning.  OP you need to seriously spend some time on how you envision your life. Its not about being a gold digger either. If staying home with kids is most important to you than this will be tough on this income?  Do you want a single family home versus a townhome?  Live in the city or far out suburbs?  Nive vacations?  no stress about money?   What is wrong is for women to know they want that those things and then marry a school teacher and act mad that he doesn't make more money.  [/quote]

The degree could be anything - he probably went to a private college for 4 yrs mostly on loans, rather than going to a cheaper state flagship with fewer/no loans. I highly doubt this is law or med school debt and he's a federal law clerk or medical resident -- bc then a potential fiancé would realize that a sub 100k salary is temporary for training and then jumps up a lot when you go to biglaw or start as an attending.[/quote]
