“YTA. Her plan was thoughtful, solid, and kept your unmarried debt separate, and your counter seems to only benefit you. She’s been working really hard to get herself into a great financial position and you basically just want her to snap her fingers to make your debt go away, while taking away from her savings trajectory. Maybe ask her to go over her spreadsheet and how she came up with the numbers so you can understand her thought process and get on the same page.”
