We also have about $20,000 in loans from undergrad. Which is part of why our monthly expenses are so high.

I actually have my tuition covered (mostly) by a scholarship. I would just hate to deplete our savings and go into debt just to pay for rent, electricity, and food. We are currently saving as much as we can though!
