I have a wife who is in college full-time, 3 children that live with me (2 that do not)...that eats up (pun intended) my food budget. My rent on a 3 bedroom apartment is $1400/month and I had to sign a 14 month lease to get that (after already living here for over a year). They wanted to raise our rent $300/month if I didn't sign the 14 month lease. I pay for health insurance out of my own pocket, which is over 8000/year.

Look, that sounds like a tough situation financially, but this is not the norm among people on this forum (whom I'm addressing). Also, good news! If your wife manages to find a nice job after graduation, and if you keep your lifestyle the same, you can now put an entire salary into your savings account (or pay off loans, which is the same thing) every month. That's basically what me and my wife are doing.
