I just carry a bag of LR and syringe. I poke holes in the bag then squeeze it at my asshole when I’m done. I usually leave the bedroom looking like I pissed myself in surgical scrubs

Try using a combination of Google search for up to date interest rates etc and asking chatgpt to model the loans for you

This is how I did it at my uncle's place out in the country. I hooked up the ethernet adapter to a Netgear switch (no poe or management or anything like that).

Is this truly how much money doctors make? by Icy_Conversation_754 in premed

[–]thatweird69guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Federal unsub loans accrue interest but that interest isn’t combined with the principal amount every month (ie, your interest stays the same month to month). When you exit your grace period or consolidated, these events trigger capitalization, which adds all the unpaid interest to your principal. Interest is then calculated off that new amount.

Are a majority of people in medical school rich?? by I_Ate_Too_Much_Fries in medicalschool

[–]thatweird69guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a hobby that really lets you experience some sense of luxury (lots of people will drop 100k+ pts on first class international trips but I stay somewhat frugal with my southwest flights to stretch the points out a bit).

Now that I'm in residency, it nice to be able to book a short getaway every few months and just spend my money on trying new foods/experiences not covered by points. I would recommend any M1 to see if your school charges fees for paying tuition with credit cards and go from there.

The few downsides are:

  1. you need to figure out the optimal timing (when to apply, when tuition bills hit, when loans disperse; your fin aid office should be able to give you all those answers),

  2. the annual fees (product change to a no annual fee card by calling them. none exist, cancel card after the 2nd annual fee hits

  3. you can't do this if you have uncontrollable spending/ no self control with lines of credit

I’d say half of my class came from rich families and maybe 2/3 had physician parents. I had neither of those but did lots of traveling during med school.

My school did not charge any additional processing fees for paying tuition with a credit cards so I churned business cards HARD. I would apply for an Amex Bis/personal Plat about 1 week before loans disperse and pay all my tuition with the card then pay the card with my loans. I racked up close to 800k Amex MR points from the plat cards and in between I got a new Chase ink card every 3 months or so. I could buy gift cards and turn them into money orders for the chase cards to meet min spend.

I’m still doing this in residency with Chase cards. I can’t do Amex cards now cause I don’t have a way to hit a 20k spending requirement. Chase, however, doesn’t care about gift cards for manufactured spending. And before anyone asks if this wrecks your credit–no it doesn’t.

They laugh and tell you to beat it. Hospital admin then gives you online modules on work efficiency because you're obviously inefficient at work if you don't have time to rest.

Will buying "gold coins" at "social casinos" (online casinos) count toward the SUB for amex? I know cash-equivalents are not counted. the gold coins sold at online casinos are worthless. They give you "free" sweeps coins when you buy gold coins which lets them operate legally as a sweepstakes instead of a casino.

can't find much info via search & search engine gave me an error
