I recently learned my long-time girlfriend has a large amount of school debt, I was aware she had debt but assumed it was a normal amount most students have, around ~30-40k, it's 100k. I don't intend to stop dating her, I just need advice on how to begin dealing with this once we get married.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I make ok money (45K in a rural area, 0 debt to my name) but definitely not enough to tackle this easily, and even with her graduate degree, she will be making less than me. I just wanted to have a game plan going into marriage a couple years from now. Thanks.
