Comment Potentially Better Off or Actuallly Better Off? (Score 1) 524
Four years ago, my wife went back to school to further her career. After two years of working and school, we agreed it would be better for her to go to school full time. So for two years, we've been on one income and accumulating debt. But after she graduates, her income will go up, the debt will get paid off and if all goes well, eventually we'll be better off than we would have been if she didn't go back to school. So I figure I'm currently worse off, but potentially better off in the future.
