Lol. Call me when your student loan payments are 80% of your mortgage payments.
I pay well over 150% of my mortgage in student loan payments….

In the US the university system is a huge profit machine. A "college degree" is now the 13th grade. Most students graduate with debt payments ranging from annoying to staggering.
Employers stopped caring from whence came my degree after my very first job, post-graduation. The best education I ever got was the reading I did myself when young, language training, and typing. In fact, my typing class may be the most beneficial class of all as regards preparation for life in the real world. Sad commentary.

^ just wondering. is the uni education system in the US deregulated?
in australia, they were thinking of deregulating the system. and all around there have been protest that 'our education is not for profit'

There is a degree of regulation, but the "get off my land" crowd in the flyover land makes sure the cards are stacked in favor of the profit machine. Medical care and education have, for the most part, been handed to the "free market" in the US.
…but, but, but capitalism ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, and your post reminded me of this…

I'm waiting for someone from Detroit to chime in and reveal that their student loan is 50,000% of their (admittedly virtually non-existent) mortgage!

Fucking south west trains. Done fourteen hour days the last three days on the trot. Finally leave work at a reasonable time and all my trains are cancelled for the next hour.

Moving to Ireland? Good call, and also difficult. I have had friends who wanted to do the same but couldn't get a visa. Enjoy.
@TrickHell:
We thought we had a house in Ireland, but then the people in there decided to stay and their rent is government subsidized, so it's basically impossible to get them out.
Fawk.
It's not really the end of the world or anything. I just thought we had the last stressful part of our move sorted. House was a great deal, too, right on the water. Oh well. Shit happens.
