ScrimpAndSave,
I'm just a little concerned about your fiance's choice to use credit cards to pay living expenses while going to law school. Have the two of you talked about financial philosophy and the use of credit cards once you are married? Does he have the same focus on paying off this debt and staying out of debt that you do? Are you sure that once he's earning the big bucks he will be willing to sock away money for retirement, etc., rather than increasing your lifestyle right away to match the salary? This kinds of differences can sink marriages, and it would be smart to have lots of discussions and make sure you are on the same page before you tie the knot.
