[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And, we are currently paying only interest because that's all we can afford (this will change after DH makes partner next year). [b]And, my DH didn't graduate until 2006, BUT he was already 30 instead of 25. [/b]
. . .

[b]Both of us took out these loans when we were young, [/b]and for various reasons neither of us had received a particularly good education in financial matters and didn't really know what we were getting into.[/quote]

Ok, I was younger than he was! :) I went straight through. He took out the masters degree loans when he was young (22). Then he went to law school so he could pay off the masters degree ... because like a lot of prospective law students [b]he was led to believe [/b]that job prospects and salaries were better than they actually turned out to be.

You are so full of excuses.  I graduated from law school the same year as your DH and I'm sorry, the writing was on the wall for a long time about the legal field.  I went in with my eyes open and am glad I am a lawyer, it's what I always wanted.  But it really bugs me when contemporaries act as if they couldn't have known what the deal was and poor them.  [b]If you're foolish and make a mistake, own up to it.  Don't blame everyone else, your youth, etc.[/b][/quote]

I agree.  If you are bright enough to get into and graduate from law school, you are bright enough to figure out that you'll need to do some due diligence about job prospects, and consider the financial ramifications of taking out loans.
