No matter what raise I get in my salary, it just feels like all I can do is live paycheck to paycheck. Affording basics and very occasional wants is all I'm able to do. How are the rest of you living in this expensive world, and putting aside money for investments or life building? I don't indulge in many wants but my credit card bill always looks like I'm living it up. So unfair! Does anyone relate?

Absolutely relate. Even with good months, expenses seem to eat up the gains, especially with variable income, inflation, and basics. Most of us are cutting back on extras, but bills (and credit cards) pile up from just trying to meet regular costs. It’s not just you; so many of us are managing debt and just doing the best we can to get ahead, one paycheck at a time.

Life / Career Advice: I applied to medical school since my MCAT score was set to expire, ended up getting into 1 program. I also have an opp to join a well funded/well established Healthtech Startup (6 figure salary w/ equity + benefits) as a BD professional. I enjoy the business side of things and am unsure if I would end up practicing Medicine (medicine is also a long arduous path). At the same time, having an MD holds a lot of clout/authority in HC. Any thoughts on what I should do?
