    Yep...except you have a small job. Our whole living income is wrapped up in Financial Aid loans and grants. :) We just try not to think about how much we'll be paying back eventually and focus on the great educations we're both getting.

    Re: your "day job"
    I work in a collections agency. I am not a collector per se; I call people who are already paying and "touch base" with them; my favorite part of my job is wheeling and dealing, offering settlements on accounts. :) I do not plan on doing it forever, although the pay is pretty good. My fiancee owns a construction company but we will be owning our own tattoo shop in a few years; he works at one now and is honing his skills for that time.
    But taking care of home is another job within itself! In addition to a 40-hr. workweek there's laundry (I do not know how my man and I generate so much of it!) all the other household chores; barn cleaning; etc.

    Hehe....I knew I'd be leaving stuff out. I will admit though, I kinda suck at interior design and gardening. But I suppose we all gotta have our weaknesses somewhere! :P

    RVT but I work at a medical records retrieval office. Techs here don't make a wage that is compatible with actually living, so I am having to do something else until I can move to a larger city. Hopefully I can get a job at a zoo(Dallas Zoo, or something).
