Student loans screw me. All other debt I have worked hard to pay off. I'm not doing amazing with it but I'm working towards getting rid of it.

I try and balance this 'sensible' side with the 'you have to live for today' side of things. I have a bike, so that tells you which side won out on that day.

I have no debt at all beyond a 15 yr mortgage.

My wife decided to get a Ph.D in a field that makes $50k/yr. She has shedloads of debt. Thankfully most of it is Sallie Mae loans at <3% interest. Everything else I've paid off for her since getting married.

Whoa! Where can I find a gig like this?!

I graduated with 50K in student debt. I also went to grad school so I owe more now.

So in other words you have shedloads of debt.

It's not in my name so legally it's not mine. And 2.7% interest over 30 years means the payment's less than 5% our monthly income. So yeah, it's a big number but it doesn't worry me.

Yes, she has to pay it off which ultimately means less money for us, but if she passes away tomorrow, I'm not responsible for any of it.

"Debt incurred outside the marriage does not make your spouse responsible, but any loans or lines of credit obtained during the marriage makes both partners liable."

All my vehicles are paid for, but I have a mortgage and just a little over $5k in cc debt. The cc debt is mostly medical bills and will be paid off here shortly.

Medical bills really screw me. I broke my arm a couple months ago and I just had sinus surgery for the 3rd time a few weeks ago.
