Bill and Carly are both in their early 60s. Bill is a diesel mechanic and Carly a dental hygienist. They have three children: Julie, age 29; Megan, age 26; and Samuel, age 24.  Julie just finished and MBA program after living at home while waitressing for five years after college. She has a local placement with a good salary, yet plans to live one more year at home while attacking $150,000 in student loans.
