I feel that my debt is holding me back from being able to contribute to society. It is a ball and chain that follows me everywhere I go preventing me from starting the rest of my life.

My wife and I are wanting to buy our first home but with so much of our salaries going to monthly student loan payments we cant make that step yet.

Due to the high cost of student loans and the interest incurred my wife and I had to cancel our wedding and reschedule it for a year later

That's the general plan: "more affordable" like when the car dealer gives you a low monthly payment over 84 months.
