<p>I am dealing with the reality of my D’s situation.<br>
I am not dealing with the reality of others’s situation, including any poster on CC.
It is very possible for live on $15K / year (have done on lower for 3 of us).<br>
I know with about certainty close to 100% that my D. would not be able to repay her loans on resident’s salary. So, I am trying my best to make sure that she does not have any loans. There are factor beyond me, but whatever I can possibly do, I will and this includes spending considerable money on making sure that I myself stay as healthy in my ancient age as possible.<br>
Others have to ask themselves what they can and cannot do. Everybody’s reality is very different. One huge reason why I am sticking as much as I can to paying for my D’s Med. School is the future of her FUTURE children. I want her kids to have more opportunities. Having huge loans will definitely limit the finances of the family. We spoiled our kids as much as we could. I want my kids to spoil their as much as they could. It seems to work. the result are very hard working kids who set very high standards for themsleves. I want this to continue…</p>
