Guy starts a thread saying he and his wife want to buy their first house, preferably by the end of this year. in the best of circumstances right there.

He is 30 and makes $55k in Las Vegas with a HS diploma. Good FICO. His own situation isn't that bad actually. The fun begins with the wife.

His wife is 40. Works retail making $17/hr. Has $280k in student loans that's already in collections. She has two degrees - one in math and the other in ... Chinese herbal medicine.

Despite her previous educational problems, their plan is for her to attend nursing school and hope to get loan forgiveness down the road since it's a medical field.
