I got together this past weekend with a few of my medical school classmates and ahhh, the memories. Being in the trenches together, just like in residency, tends to create a bond that remains throughout time. We picked up right where we left off and talked about the good ol’ times, how life used to be, and how it is so different now, especially because we now all had families.
That evening after getting together, I began to reminisce about those years. It’s crazy to think how much life can change in 13 years. But I realized one thing hadn’t changed – I still love side hustles.
Everyone knows that medical students are dirt poor, and I took out loans just like everyone else did. I needed loans to cover tuition as well as living costs. I lived relatively frugally but I also wanted to travel and have a good time. Put simply, available cash wasn’t exactly abundant for me then, and I still found a way to live the life I wanted.
