The profile
Leah Kelly, 29, and her husband Lamar, 30,
have two children: ages 1 and 3 years
old. After nearly completing her degree in
accounting, she decided to stay at home with
her newborn daughter. Result: She had $30,000
in student loan debt and was unemployed.
Leah started a child care business
while Lamar was finishing school. The couple
lived off of credit cards and student loans.
Now Leah's business is taking off and Lamar
has graduated and has a well-paying job. Their
household income approaches six figures. Still,
their debt burden is worrisome. Altogether
the Kellys owe more than $60,000 in student
loan debt alone.
