Dear Rhonda,
I’m not sure where to best start in answering your question. Obviously taking on college debt would require it to be paid so I’m just crossing my fingers that he is no longer ill and able to work if he can find a job.
And I’ve got my toes crossed he does not have private student loans and instead has government backed loans. If they are government loans, tell him to contact his loan servicer and ask about the Income Based Repayment program (IBR). The IBR program can give him a payment he can afford based on his income. It’s the most flexible repayment program I am aware of.
I’m sensing that student loans are not the entirety of your debt problem. Can you post a response in the comments section below and give me some more information exactly what debts you are drowning in, please.
You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.

Credit cards. And yes we have just started the ibr . He does have job now it seems we have more going out then coming in. Trying to see how we can pay some of this down.Â
Well the IBR is good news. Congratulations on getting that going.
How much do you owe on credit cards and how short are you each month?
