Has anyone successfully asked an employer to pay (full) tuition for an advanced degree? If so, how did you go about doing so? My employer (small company) has an annual budget for each employee to use towards tuition, but I am hoping to get full tuition covered. This is also more important to me than a raise, which I am willing to forgo annually to make this work. I know this may be out of the norm/uncommon, but I wanted to ask.

Thank you in advance.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
