I am a MS1 and I have a new spouse who earns ~ 35K/year. Before we were married we had agreed to split all expensises 50/50. Now that we are married we are wondering if I should take out less loans and have her pay for as much as she can and then take out what ever we can't pay for in loans. We want to still be comfortable but in my thinking less loans = better (please tell me if I am wrong). Also she has ~ 15K in savings, should we touch this to pay for school, or maybe put that in a CD (she wants to do something low risk with this). I am somewhat clueless on this so any help would be great.
