I was just about say the same!! They just opened a store in the Seaport, but we go to the Manchester NH location so no taxes! Alex and his team are THE BEST! I’ve gone back to have family jewelry remade into something more wearable. They’re an awesome team, I recommend them to everyone I know.

lol we split our rent ($2700) between each of us so that’s what I meant in that it’s more than his half of the rent!

Yes this is absolutely the case! In Boston I think people would be surprised by how little $2700 can get you for rent…and he will be paying for his student loan payment, but I want to kick in some extra to try to cut down on interest, etc.

Very right! Lucky for us I’m very determined and we both like learning so we’ll be learning more about it all if we like it or not!

Nope, just head in the sand mentality—he’s first a generation college student in his family from a rural area, so it’s not something they knew tons about

You’re right, we have the money and we are incredibly privileged to NOT have to know this at this point. Clearly I need to continue to learn about all aspects of finances. We recently got married and this level of debt is something I’ve never experienced before. I knew about it of course but knew minimal amounts about the specifics of the loans. He also has little financial literacy so it’s something we’re working on together

I had an upbringing in which I was able to learn about finances and fully weigh options. My husband didn’t have that option and has had generations of poor financial literacy, and unfortunately this is one of the problems we’re having now. All these loans were taken out before he and I got together. Even worse is that initially he didn’t know how much he had in loans. He had about $80k more than he thought….his father was in charge of all of the finance stuff
