Hi everyone, so this is a little of background information. I am D1 in DS, and at first I thought I was going to be able to use SL to pay tuition & fees and that's it. I truly didn't see myself living off student loans. My husband was paying for everything, but we were living way to far from school, and my drive would be 1hr minimum with traffic. We have class at 8am every day, and driving was insane, and I almost have an accident one time. So my Hubby was like, no more we moving.
The weather would be changing too, and driving with snow, it was going to get crazy (we live in a city that if there is like a snow dream lol, everything wets paralyzed) so we moved.
The only issue is that now he cannot afford everything because we moved closer to school, but to a more expensive neighborhood (not a nice neighborhood though, our old neighborhood and apartment was nicer and cheaper )
We could not afford to move because we still had to pay rent in our old place (60 day notice + fees yada yada). I began paying the rent in our new place with student loans, my husband is freaking out, and feeling down that he cannot make the payments. He could afford it, by saving every last penny out of his salary, but we have to live. Like our fridge is going emptier by the minute, we need to buy stuff like (laundry stuff), things for school.
How do people that don't have anyone do it? DS is expensive and not just the tuition folks.
We don't have family to help us financially either.
A couple that lives together usually both of them work right? Usually.
It's just so hard to make the math and end up with 300k in student loans, but we have to live too, right?
I am in state by the way, and I already own a tiny bit from undergraduate... no more than 100k though.
