Good idea! In three years when she decides to leave, she'll be nice and debt free and you'll still have all of yours to pay off.

Let's see... both doing travel jobs and most likely living in different cities and not seeing each other for weeks/months. Being a newb nurse, she'll often hate her job too. It's a high stress profession.

My suggestion is move to Houston/Dallas wheres theres a huge abundance of jobs in the medical field and settle down.

I think he meant they're traveling together.

OP don't listen to everyone in here trying to scare you. I'm a PT and came out with about 70k in loans and paid majority of it off in 5 years on one income just before kids came. Have about 15k left that would be paid but just had our first baby so we are saving some and using it for other things. You guys will be fine.

We will be traveling together not separately and she is not a new nurse. With a combined 130-150k a year I think we'll be fine since we won't have to pay for housing/insurance/etc. we are already used to living frugally for school so we can hopefully knock it out relatively quickly.
