[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you think you can afford?  Are you planning to have kids?  That debt is crazy high.[/quote]

Law school is expensive. That’s why our debt is so high. Yes, we have 2 kids under 5. [/quote]
Yet somehow we paid ours off in 10 years. Maybe you should get a job instead of mooching off your lawyer husband.[/quote]

Op here: for your information, I am the wife and the lawyer, not my husband. And good for you for paying off your debt in 10 years I haven’t even been out of law school for 5 years yet. [/quote]

Not PP (who is incredibly rude btw), but you can easily continue to rent and pay that debt off in 2-3 years.  With interest rates so high currently, I'd highly recommend that.  What are your real expenses?  What does that 4K include---how much do you actually spend each month.  Then you will know how much can go to the debt and how many months it will take to pay it off.  
I would focus on paying down the debt, saving for college and retirement and then buy in 3-4 years.  [/quote]
