<prompt> Human: Hi all, thanks for reading. My fiance has 100K in student loan debts all are between 6-8 interest. We have been together for a long time and are planning to get married late next year. I have been saving for the last few years to buy a house and have roughly 200k in assets saved for this purpose at the moment. Would it behoove us to pay off the loans first? Or should we put all the money into a down payment and pay off the loans as we go? If it is better to pay the loans first, should I wait until after we are married? If I pay beforehand would the money be considered marital assets? We both love each other and will sign a prenup but Id like to be sure of what Im doing in the event that things dont work out.  <response>: Do not, under any circumstances, pay off her loans. Get the house or whatever YOU want AND a prenup.
