Ok, I think we've come to the point where we've recognized the problem. Time for some solutions: 1) demand her signing bonus up front. Straight into your pocket. 2) she pays you back like student loans (but without interest? Eh, interest is up to you). 3) if you're still not paid in full, you get all bonuses until you are. Then, dump that leech.

Wow the dumbest idea ever. She's totally using you and this is coming from a girl

Yeah, those deal terms are going to get him thrown out of the league. He needs to demonstrate he understands her vantage point and incorporate that to increase his chance of closing in his favor. 1) make a list of all the non-financial tasks/chores she completes. Does she cook, clean, wash the pad, run your chores/errands, play your therapist/counselor/ personal cheerleader/life coach? 2) get comps for those tasks . 3) based on a past history and future value projections, determine NPV. 4) incorporate those figures into her final obligation terms and 5) don't forget to put it in writing . Good luck

"At the time she was going to work and study" ... I'm sorry to say that this was unlikely in her plans. If it doesn't make a big dent, then go for it, but I don't think sponsoring girls is a good idea if it's noticeable to your bottom line

Nope, but we've been together for over 6 years. At the time, she was going to work and study in the evenings - but that idea never came to fruition.

This is a great decision if you are getting married because the interest on the loans wouldn't make sense if you have the cash. However, if you don't get married then you should have her repay you

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand.

Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
