I think this is a rash generalization. Sure, plenty of folks do it for themselves alone, and at the expense of loved ones. Others, however, do it, sometimes primarily, to create a better work-life balance and income for their spouses and children.

My father in law has one. Every inch of it is original--even the same tires. It's got about 19k miles on it. Thing of beauty.

So your take-home is about $34k/yr with your stipend and Obamacare? Am I understanding that correctly?

One of my choices is over $10k!?!

Very happy for you! Waiting to hear from UW myself, maybe our paths will cross in Madison!

It's a standard question of mine for each school that has interviewed me. So far, they've all volunteered the number applicants left and the number they plan to admit.

One of my interviews was like this, one was not. The one that wasn't was very much to find who the cream of the crop was (trying to get from 8 interviews down to two admits). Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Love the short lease idea. Save 1/3? I'm assuming dual income or one heck of a stipend from the badgers (Madison's not the cheapest).

What discipline are you applying to? I see MN in your signature--I applied there too.

Yikes! Is that bc you're non-US? Is that "family coverage at a discounted rate" that some schools espouse?
