When couples navigate wealth building with different debt burdens

My girlfriend and I want to start building wealth together but she has $40k in student loans and I graduated debt-free because my parents paid for school. We're trying to decide whether to tackle her debt first or start investing, but really we're struggling with the fairness of me having this head start that I didn't earn.

More people experience this than they realize.
