They explore the specific trade-offs: delaying retirement contributions, using a side hustle, and negotiating a lower interest rate on the loans. The hosts break down the numbers, discuss the emotional weight of carrying debt while watching friends buy houses, and offer a framework for couples facing the same dilemma. This episode is full of concrete tactics like the 'snowball plus' method and how to split extra payments without resentment.
