Can't do that... the setback occurred AFTER we had made deposits. And eating that money would be devastating to the budget overall.

And I'm 23, as my profile says.

Here's my advice. Worth every penny that you paid for it.

Sit down with the soon-to-be-Mrs and discuss the options. The decision affects you both, so you should make the decision jointly.

I was in a similar situation. I graduated last spring, and had the option to come back (I am a student athlete and have another year of eligibility)Or go ahead and go hit the real world and try to find a job. I chose to go back to school and get my masters, and if the opportunity rolls around about a year from now, and the economy/job market is still this bad I will go back to school and pursue another degree. Securing a job is important, but to me there is nothing secure about our Economy, usually when firings come around recent hires are the first to go. I would rather be in school and further my education as much as possible so when the job market shows itself I will be more qualified...Dunno if this answers your question but something worth considering
