Susanne and Bill Walsh wanted to retire and travel the world by their late fifty's but they have not been able to as they still have to work to help both of their sons pay off their college debts. 24 year old Tim has approximately $129,000 in debt while Sean has $60,000. All together there is a total of $189,000 in debt. The parents lost their jobs in the 2009 recession and have since become employed again giving their sons $744 a month.
