<prompt> Human: Long story short my convicted felon SO is nearly done with her 1 year sentence for federal money laundering. She has 20k in student loan debt, which she is currently deferring bc she is incarcerated. She told me that she intends to pay minimum payments on her student loans until she dies. I am much more financially responsible and knowledgeable than her so to me this seems like a horrible decision. I have no debt, great credit, and over 150k in equity. I love this girl and would like to spend the rest of my life with her, but I am curious how her legal and financial situation may affect my life if we were to get married.EDIT: In order to provide a little more clarity on the circumstances surrounding her and our situation... This is a classic case of a good girl in a bad situation. She was dating a guy who was trafficking marijuana. His Mother was depositing money into her account. He and his family threatened her and her family so it was a difficult situation for her to get out of. Unfortunately, she ended up getting out when they hethey got busted. He is serving 25 years for drug trafficking and money laundering.My main question is exactly how would her felony and debt affect me if we were to marry?I will definitely insist on a prenup. Would her history have any affect on getting a loan for a house?  <response>: If you value your financial sanity and probably mental health too dont get married to this girl or do anything else to mix your assets, debts, accounts, or anything else financial. As you correctly point out, making minimum payments for life is not a solid financial plan. Money laundering is also not a solid financial plan. Both of these combined points to someone with a very unhealthy relationship with money. Stay with her if you want to but do not get legally or financially bound to her.
