I got your blog address off the Stirrup Queen's blogroll and was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me help a couple who is trying to add a little one to their family. We're holding a silent auction for them this weekend (Friday and Saturday) on goteamwitt.blogspot.com and need help getting the word out! We would love it if you would spread the word via social media or here on your blog. Additionally, we are always looking for more donations to auction off, so if you or someone you know might be interested in making a donation, all the information is under the donate tab. If you have any questions or would be willing to post a pre-written blog post about the auction and the sponsored couple, please contact Kristin at goteamwitt@gmail.com Thanks in advance for taking the time to consider this!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415255822444495029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823447541544785939.post-1021865014495126572011-06-15T07:40:44.407-04:002011-06-15T07:40:44.407-04:00oh-about the repayment-they changed the law: it us...oh-about the repayment-they changed the law: it used to be that residents were considered in economic hardship, but now, economic hardship is considered when you're making 15,000 or less-don't even get me started! hubby's salary this year will literally go to our babysitter and rent-that's it. our living expenses will come from my student loans-which isn't much. this year will definitely be a struggle!MyRoseAmongThornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242358450734138295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823447541544785939.post-39521867523915163922011-06-15T07:38:45.634-04:002011-06-15T07:38:45.634-04:00this year the loan payments will be minimal-i'...this year the loan payments will be minimal-i'm still in school, he'll only have half a year of work on the books (since he starts in july) and we'll have 2 kids (please G-d)...He definitely plans on moonlighting, but he can't do it for a few more years I think...but he will definitely moonlight when it becomes available! For next year, he'll hopefully keep his tutoring job (you won't even believe how much tutoring in NYC pays hourly!) But, our rent is high and so is childcare....MyRoseAmongThornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242358450734138295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823447541544785939.post-85456187430502346022011-06-12T17:54:05.625-04:002011-06-12T17:54:05.625-04:00Why will you have to begin repayment while he is i...Why will you have to begin repayment while he is in residency? Hopefully your loans aren't as bad as ours. Congrats on the new baby and your hubby finishing med school. That is a long process. I don't know if your hubby would be able to or not, but mine was able to do moonlighting and that totally saved our butts in the income department. He only worked a shift or two during the month, but it was enough.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140632652016197689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823447541544785939.post-45182809738274548342011-06-12T17:28:12.756-04:002011-06-12T17:28:12.756-04:00I empathize with you; my husband starts his intern...I empathize with you; my husband starts his intern year next week! We're moving next week-but will have to move a year later to be closer to his residency. We have to begin loan repayment while he's in residency, which is just another monthly payment that is freaking me out! Rent in NYC is also insanely expensive-so combine that with paying for childcare for 2 (I'm due in Aug with #2) that's all of hubby's paycheck! It's so scary!!!!! But, we'll figure it out!MyRoseAmongThornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242358450734138295noreply@blogger.com
