A pretty difficult personal problem here:
I am leaving southern West Virginia in the fall of 2018 to attend Westminster (about an 8 hour drive). However, at that time the woman I intend to marry would still have one more year left until she completes her undergrad in education. If she were to remain in WV during that year, she would come out of college with absolutely no debt. However, if she were to finish her degree in Pennsylvania, we would be many thousands of dollars in debt (since the cost of out-of-state tuition is much higher).
To be clear: We both believe that marriage should not be delayed for long periods of time and that financial burdens are to be accepted for the sake of marriage. However, we simply do not believe it would be wise to marry now and place such a large financial burden on our heads (especially since I am not sure how much I will be able to work while attending Westminster).
Are we making the right decision?
