Unfortunately its not easy, yeah they do work, but they aren't exactly a rich working family, the mom works two jobs and the dad works for teh govt, but making little as well. So yeah the wife wants me to figure out a way to pay this off for them so her parents don't have to worry. If im in the poor house then so be it. Right now i just don't fee like dealing with the arguements with the wife either. I'd rather make their whole family feel guilty for making me sacrifice yet again all my personal goals and finances so they can catch up on their bills. It almost feels like i cant even move up in my career because if i leave and i don't get a paycheck every two weeks then somehow this family suffers, i don't know how but it does.
