Fuck... That would have been the house I could have bought for $200-220k, which would now be with about $425k

your link goes to my post, bro.

Give the man a break. He just learned how to post pictures outside of photographs of his computer monitor viewing Facebook. A link is a step in the right direction.

Do you get tax credits for the "help"?

I get dependency exemptions/credits for the kids, so sort of. They aren't very good help all the time, but you get what you pay for.

I don't see paying off a school loan in total as the best call but maybe if the principal is that bad

We don't get an interest deduction on it, so our financial planner advised us to pay them off ASAP. Especially since when we started paying them off, they were far and away higher than our mortgage.

Considering I was able to save up enough to pay it off, while going out to bars 4-5 nights a week, it wasn't that bad of a payment

When I was paying mine, I was at about $1100 or so a month. Mr. Kobe's are at about $1500 per month. I can't wait to have these fucking things paid off. Only about $140k of Mr. Kobe's left to go.

I have always been conservative when it comes to debt. Pay it off as soon as possible. Interest is the lender making money on your labor. I understand leveraging to gain control of a profit maker but not as an added expense with no return.

Well...you guys probably started off in the several hundred k territory so I'd agree for your situation.

Gotta hand it to Kobe for convincing the hubby to pay hers off first. Then if he cheats or if bill gates becomes available she's free and clear.

Such a crock of shit that I can’t write off student loan interest.

i've just always hated owing money on anything or to anyone. house is going to be annoying, but it's slowly getting there.

I think we were like $350k after all the schooling was done.

What kind of divorce lawyer would I be if we paid off his first? I'm no dummy.

Fair point. It's also an actual complaint.
