My husband and I graduated about 2 years ago. We both had to put ourselves through school, pay for our wedding, etc. So we ended up amassing a sizable student loan and credit card debt by the time we graduated. We both make good money, so I know that we can pay it off within a year.
However, everytime we make a dent in our debt, something or the other happens and we end up back in square one. Last year, we almost paid off 1 cc and my husband was rushed into surgery because he had a cyst that got infected. Most of the surgery, ER visit and hospital stay was covered by insurance, but still we had to pay around 1.5k. Then we paid that off and I got laid off from work.
I got a better job that pays more now, and so did my husband. So we are hoping that this year is better than last and we pay off our debt soon and buy a house while the housing market is still down.
