How Do Med Students Make Ends Meet?

Currently, 3 med students in my family… all are doing it by taking enough loans to cover all expenses. One is married but her husband is a post-doc, and his income is very modest. No one is living high off the hog… it’s a modest existence in rentals, driving beat up little cars, and eating out that’s pretty much limited to pizza and low-cost takeouts. One begins residency soon… and thinks her $30,000 salary is a fortune!
