I think some stuff differs if you are married...but if it's a parent/adult child/sibling you aren't liable for anything unless you cosigned for it. But the creditors won't tell you that if they think you'll pay.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A friend of mine got his student loans discharged when he had AIDS. It was a year or two before he died, IIRC.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
A lawyer once told me that Federal student loans also discharge at age 65. His goal was to make it to 65 without paying them back.
Didn't he promise to pay them back when he signed up for them? Assuming that he can afford to pay them back, is he saying his goal is to make it to 65 as a man who does not keep his word? I think he could have better goals.

Trust my rage
Yes and Yes. He was sort of pathetic. I met this guy when I was a law student and I got to attend some big donor to the law school benefit. I was sort of bummed that the lawyer I got to network with was such a loser.

I like the way she said it!!
I was up until 6 am or so stressing about money. I would turn off the light, try to go to sleep, fail, turn on the light, read a relevant book or two, turn off the light, fail, get up, take a shower, go back to bed, fail, turn on the light, write down the crazy money-making ideas swirling in my head... you get the idea.
So now I've slept half the day away. Not ideal. But I'll make it work.

YAY YAY YAY! Happy anniversary, Miracleborns!

Oh sweetheart. The only reason I wasn't was the meds I'm on. But I could feel the anxiety insomnia creeping around the edges. I hope you sleep better tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy anniversary to the Miracle-est of Borns! It is my anniversary, too. Good day to get married!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy anniversary to you too, Scrappy!111!
You know, this is sad. Last night I was hungry and it was too late in the evening to eat, and this morning I got only a couple slices of bacon for breakfast, very early, so I decided that today after meetings were over, I would order lots of Chinese food and guiltlessly pig out. So I ordered a large chicken fried rice and fried cheese wontons, and ... I've only eaten half the wontons and half a bowl of the fried rice, and I'm full. Dang. Fried rice is never as good reheated, either, but I'm going to feel compelled to eat it all over the next couple days.
