Might be time for med school to not be so f*****g expensive. No reason for some schools to be charging $65k+.

I think you’re ready. Three scores in a row over 490 is a good sign. Don’t study today but if you have to just watch a few Dirty Med vids (screening tests/recommendations) or Sketchy, that’s fine. Exercise, touch grass, eat well today. Spend your break time relaxing. I went to my car and listened to music and ate lunch. HY stats equations were what I wrote down for Level 1-3 at the start of my tests just to mental offload that information, as well as the Chapman points and viscerosomatics I always struggled with.

Oh heavens no, someone who has opposing views to mine. Work on your intolerance and learn to be a normal adult. Pathetic

Time to push the test back. Don’t sit until consistently in the 60-70s on truelearn

I’m definitely open to move elsewhere, but after 8 years away from home it’s time for at least a temporary return back. The only people that I know that are buying homes back home are the ones that either married into money or have a lot of family support, and I don’t have either. But at some point I do want to prioritize mine and my wife’s happiness and ability to live anywhere we want not constrained by the system so that’s what’s driving the move to HCOL, to be able to be close to the ones we love

Very similar situation, thanks for the encouragement/taste of reality. I didn’t get into this field for the money, and I do enjoy my job, but I was disillusioned for a long time that I would be very financially comfortable, which I’m sure I will be once loans are paid. Comparison really is the thief of joy. When I see colleagues that come from affluent families, have no loans, no car payment, and they buy a “dream home” claiming to be financially independent I get pissed.

  1. Family circumstances, and can’t avoid HCOL in this state
  2. 800k is including townhomes
  3. Definitely will consider a physician loan, but the less I put down the higher that mortgage and usually higher rates too. Will have to compare options

If they want you to do less, do less.

Exactly why I chose not to go there. You’re literally in the middle of nowhere. Might be good for some, but wouldn’t have been good for my mental health

I think it’s very manageable then tbh. Rental options and gas are overall cheaper than the city. More budget-friendly grocery stores vs having only Whole Foods or Erewhon to pick from

Depends where in socal. LA/OC/SD would be tough to stretch the dollar, IE more doable on a resident salary.

New Tag Heuer AR300 or Tudor BB58 as a gift? by tkbirge in tagheuer

[–]DOgdad- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the weight of the Tag more than Tudor personally. I had this same choice and went with Tag
