My husband and I have been married for four years. When we graduated from college we were able to find entry level positions in California, but things were difficult because it is very expensive to live in California. After two years of marriage we decided to move to Omaha, Nebraska, believing that we could earn California wages without paying California housing prices. We bought a 900 square-foot condo for $317,000. We love the place and it's in a great neighborhood, but we have to be honest with ourselves that we may have made a mistake. Buying the condo took our savings, and that meant we had to take out a student loan for my husband's graduate school. He works in education, and with a $42,000 salary, it infuriates us that his graduate schooling nearly costs us what he makes in a year. Although we carry no credit card debt and continue to drive our very old cars, it worries me that when it comes time to pay back student loans, we are going to still be very tight and only be paying near the minimum credit card payment. My husband's career goal is to work in school administration, which pays more that what a classroom teacher makes. But it could take several years for that to happen, and we will need to sit tight until then. I am grateful that we have, for the most part, lived within our means and have made an effort to save a small amount of money. But if either of us loses our job, we could be in the same boat a lot of people are in. I hope this economy turns around so I can stop losing sleep about it! Based on the above scenario, describe one problem the couple above is facing and one possible solution to the problem
