<prompt> Human: Her parents are well off upper middle class but dont budget and live lavishly. I dont have any debt and when talking with her parents, they always said they were going to pay for school for their only child.Well, we got married and they changed their mind. We have 4 loans totaling 22,000. 14,000 of it is on a 6ish ir and the rest is on a 3.The bill is 290 per month. Her parents said they will do 150 per month until it is paid off and we have to cover the rest.My wife and I budget and had a plan of living frugally to pay off the house in 5 years. We can add an additional 1,400 to principle every month. We also have a 12,000 emergency fund.Should I suck it up and pay off the student loans myself? After all, they are from her school.I guess these big plans I had are falling through and my pride is too high to pay it off myself and let them off the hook. Am I being irrational?EDIT: The way you all put things makes me look like such a tool. I worked my way through college to pay off school as I went. She did not. That was her choice. And she is my wife so its my debt too. While they shouldnt have changed their mind, 150 per month is better than nothing. I can have it paid off by the end of the year.  <response>: Am I being irrational?Yes.
