Unless your parents are very wealthy you take out loans. If your living with a girlfriend or boyfriend you better hope they help you pay rent because you get budgeted for roommates. If your married it's the same scenario except now they count your spouses income in your expected family contribution, so you could potentially qualify for less financial aid.
I'm not sure how one would survive with a spouse and dependants with no spousal income. I don't know many people who could handle med school and a job, I certainly can't. My wife works now but when we have children she wants to stay at home to raise them. I expect we'll be very poor in the near future, and for quite some time after that.

In general just plan on taking out a lot of loans, it will pay off 10 or so years down the road.
