No.... he meant live on his salary to invest her salary in order to allow for retirement by 40...

4yrs undergrad + 4 years med school + 3 year residency making jack squat + 1-3 year fellowship making jack squat = a LOT of money owed.
She'd have to make some pretty sick money to pay off $300k worth of loans "in a couple of years" what with how Uncle Sam tends to take most of our money these days.
Obviously if you love the woman, marry her. We're just being facetious here....
