Today we spoke with Tyler Lacklander.

She's a fourth-year medical student at Saint Louis University School of Medicine with a focused interest in cardiothoracic surgery and academic medicine. She'll be starting her residency training at Indiana University I6 cardiothoracic surgery. Tyler's academic work centers on advancing surgical outcomes research, addressing disparities in access to care, and expanding early exposure to cardiothoracic surgery for students from underrepresented backgrounds.

She serves as the founder of Standing on the Shoulders of Giants and lead multiple student-driven research initiatives in cardiothoracic surgery, including large-scale retrospective analyses and national collaborative projects. Tyler's academic interests include surgical outcomes, social determinants of health, and innovation in cardiac surgery.

Financially, the old “three months’ salary” rule is fading. Most people today spend closer to two months’ pay, and many think even that is too much.

Younger generations are especially moving away from tradition. Some say they’d rather:
choose a cheaper or non-diamond ring
skip the ring altogether and take a trip
or even get tattoos instead

Long story short, the relationship is what truly matters. If you can remember that, the price of the ring shouldn’t matter all that much.
