what do you do, how much do you make

[B u M b L ee K y]

that must be nice. I am a full time dental student living off student loans (and a shitload of them at that) as well as the pocket change I earn at a retail store in the mall $8/hour but they never fucking give me enough hours. My husband is a restaurant employee and he is no help, he is always broke too.

As long as he is loving and supporative...no amount of money he has or makes should run the relationship.

There is nothing wrong with not making money. I am just frustrated because he acts like a doormat at work and lets his bosses walk all over him. But that is his personality and I guess everyone has strengths and weaknesses at work. His weakness just happens to be asking for a well-deserved raise! I wasn't trying to be bitchy but I guess I was

Nothing, and a lot. I like to keep it that way.

True, it's the love and emotional support that matter most. But money concerns do influence relationships, no matter whether we want them to or not.

I don't envy you those student loans, TSM. We saved about 90% of my professional salary for the last 15 years or so when I was still working, and fortunately that's there now for me and our son to go to school on. Our son's in his third year of college at an expensive school. It took some planning so we could swing all that. My husband is a cardiologist, and he was starting residency when we were first married. His first years of practice went directly to paying back those loans. We knew that if I went to med school once our son was grown and gone, we needed to find another way to support that, so we saved. Heck, I'll be so old by the time I get out that I'd barely have the chance to practice medicine long enough to pay back debts if I incurred any.

Where are you in dental school and what year? I'm in my first year at UT-Southwestern Medical in Dallas. I understand the first two years of our curricula are almost identical, then y'all start branching off into teeth and we stay with the rest of the body. I find medical biochemistry the most intimidating course I'm in currently. Nice talking with you!

I go to the University of Minnesota and I'd rather not give further identifying details. Let's just say I've been there long enough to know the ropes, but not long enough to have a license.

For us, the first two years are both medical and dental, but after second year we start to drop the medical stuff and do mostly dental.

Biochemistry was super-hard for me. I wouldn't want to do it again.

Keep up the good work, Dr. Bird.

Hey Justin, Fox hills where? I got a fox hills by me here in Michigan that does that.

I used to work at a farm running their fresh produce stands. Id make a cool 5-600$ a week cash. And workin with everyone was awsome. But now that winter came they closed it all down and needed no help. I miss it. It was alot of physical work in a day and now its all boring.

Thanks for your general location. I didn't mean to delve into details. Just wondered if you were down here anywhere nearby. Goodness, I can't imagine the winters in Minnesota, but then I'm sure you'd feel the same way about Texas summers.

Biochem is a scary thing. I feel constantly panicked in there. We don't have a UT-Southwestern dental branch in Dallas, so we're just med students alone in the first two classrom years, although there are some so-called allied health students in some of our classes on occasion. The UT dental schools are in San Antonio and Houston, I believe.

Are dental students the same as med students in that they take the board exams after the first two years of classroom training? I suspect it's the same way for y'all, but I'm curious.

42 year old retiree. The woman's a bit older and she'll be retiring at the end of this year. After that, we dunno what we're going to do, probably relax for a year or two and see if we have enough money to stay retired. We have no kids, the house is paid for, the car is paid for (and doesn't even have 30k miles on it yet even though it's a 2000 model), pretty much everything is paid for really, very little left on credit, so we'll probably be okay.
