[quote=Anonymous][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 he was led to believe that job prospects and salaries were better than they actually turned out to be.

Sorry, you can't play the "youthful indiscretion" card when you are 22 years old with a BA.  And him - 25, with a Masters he already was in debt for?  And you say, "we were young, we didn't know any better?"  Aargh.

And count me among those who question your subsequent choices, PP.  It's none of my business, of course, but I just can't fathom owing $300,000+ combined, and then taking on a mortgage, and then having kids, and then having person quit.  That's nuts.  Your whole attitude reeks of "I want what I want, and the realities of the situation don't matter to me - I want it!"  I wouldn't put up with that from my 4 yo, and yet you are proud of it.  Interest only, on a $300,000 debt, for the last 5 years?  And then you have three kids?  And then you leave the workforce?  I understand you want to be a SAHM, but there are lots of things I want that I can't afford.  Getting them woudl put my family in a precarious financial situation.  So you know what?  I don't have them.  That's what grownups do.  Sorry for the rant/lecture, but this really is astonishing.  [/quote]
