Brock's call triggers an extended monologue from Dave that goes well beyond financial advice. The facts: Brock earns $54,000 in the Army with his degree being paid for; his wife earns $36,000 as a nanny; they have $65,000 in savings; and she has $175,000 in student loans from a D1 school she attended out of state, changed her major, and ultimately couldn't afford to finish. Dave's plan is methodical — stack cash until the baby arrives, apply $75,000 to the loan, attack the remaining $100,000 with both incomes — but his emotional reaction is visceral.

Dave …" 1:26:02 He cites that only 54% of four-year degree students finish, blames Congress for continuing to issue student loans despite this dropout rate, and excoriates parents who allow teenagers to sign six-figure debt without intervention. Rachel gently notes that the wife's nanny work gives her flexibility to keep her baby with her while working, which softens the financial picture slightly.
