[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you were a man we wouldn't be discussing this.  Are you completely insane?  200k in Arkansas?  Give that up and you will resent your husband.  I'm resenting him for you.  This is such a no brainer.  What is messing you up is gendered expectations. [b] Your husband fucked up with taking on so much debt.  My husband and I are attorneys and we didn't have that much between the two of us.[/b]  Stay here, struggle & not be able to save for your child's college.

Family should be more important to your husband than his ego.  [/quote]

Really??? American U and georgetown law are at 70k a year for law school right now! easily over 200k for ONE person[/quote]

I went to Georgetown Law on a full tuition scholarship.  I did have to take out loans to live on because I had zero financial support from my parents.  Look her husband made a bad decision to take on that much debt.   It is now ruling his decisions, instead of allowing them to do what is best for the family.  And again, if the OP was a man we wouldn't even be talking about this!  In fact OP go post somewhere like the bogleheads board and see what they tell you.  And why not pretend you're a man just to see the difference in responses.   Plus, that board is full of finance savy people.

My husband also had a scholarship to his law school and paid off his loans before we had a kid.  I just think the OP is a rock star to get this awesome offer and it sucks that she's even second guessing it.  I'd love to move to a low COL area myself but my husband wants to stay here.  We make more than the OP's family so it isn't a burden for us to stay here.  [/quote]
