The full story is here

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.

But they want a house by the end of the year! She must give the very best blowjobs in history.

That’s bad but certainly not the most insane thing I’ve ever seen.

How can you have a math degree and not be able to crunch those numbers?

No idea. He never mentioned a pregnancy.

I thought at first he was just trolling but doesn't appear to be.

I feel like I’ve gone back to 2007

Edit: Scratch that, if this was 2007 they’d be moving into their new $500,000 home right now instead of asking reddit

This is like those house hunter shows where a couple is buying their first house in Scottsdale. He is third year local cop she is a first year kindergarten teacher and their budget is $1million dollars.

Might happen.

He should have taken stock of her financial situation and immediately

When he was 21 and she was 31, she was throwing it on him like he’d never seen before.

This statement just enhanced my mental picture of you about 15%.

She sounds like the type that often throws out "well I do have 2 degrees".

Yeah...that won't happen. You don't get loan forgiveness just for being in the medical field.
