Good news: I'm marrying the love of my life in December 2018 and on January 2019 she'll be going to 4 years of Physical Therapy school to become a doctor!

Bad news: She's going to be around $200k worth of debt once it's all said and done.

Questions:

  • Since we'll be married by then, is the debt going to be under my name too?
  • What advice would you give us before she goes to school, while she's in school, and after school?
