2) good for your 22:21. but for the rest of the world, this is highly unusual. My spouse is an anesthesiologist too, and he is well-compensated for this area. his earnings and vacation are no where near what you wrote. you are either in a different locality, a senior partner at a group (in which case you are probably much older than most others on this board, as I've heard most of the local groups stopped bringing on senior partners a long time ago), or an unusual outlier.

What is your husbands comp?

So you know I'm in the biz, I'll tell you - we have a combo of great payor mix and run 1:3-4 ratios. We don't have "senior partners" - just associates and partners.

Also, we will probably sell out like fairfax did. I bet we could get 2-2.5 mil per partner with a 5 year tail from one of the big management companies.

For all of that, he doesn' make boatloads and we aren't living the high life, by any means. I work as well.

He makes far, far less than law firm partners, who have a third of the training.

I'm also a cancer survivor. Surgeons and oncologists saved my life. 'nuff said.

Not enough said - you didn't answer the F@@@ing question.
So much defensive bullshit but no answer

Wow - My friend is a pediatrician; I'm a school teacher. We both work PT (60%) and make the same amount of money. the thing is? I have summers off; she doesn't.

Yeah - They make TONS of money, and their jobs are easy, especially when they're on call.

You're an idiot.

Pediatrician is the lowest paid Doctor pretty much. It's s choice people make.
Teachers here get paid a fortune because the Montgomery County Council is fond of raping the taxpayers.

I disagree. Dentists are not doctors- they don't practice medicine.

Yes dentist are doctors. I also think of physicians as doctors.

Physician salaries are dropping like rocks and will continue to do so in the future.


Please don't go into medicine for the money.

Was a fool to marry my doctor without checking out his finances. After marriage found out he had six figure debt. Wiped out my savings paying it down. His friend was asked by his accountant friend how he slept at night with all that debt. We squeaked by for many years living in an tiny apartment and I put him on a strict budget.

While my friend who married the hedge fund partner has two houses a 24/7 nanny and goes to galas.

I met my DH when he was in med school. It was a long journey but he now earns $1m+ as a specialized surgeon. I was the breadwinner for over a decade. It took a while to pay off our student loans but we are now saving and investing. By the time we are 40, we hope to have a few million saved.

I love the DCUM bragging. If I had that type of life, no way I'd bother coming on some forum to tell people about it.

I would have expected more. You picked the wrong profession.

But isn't the OP really making about $360k/year since s/he is only working every other week?

I'm now 35 and there is no way we're going to have a few million saved by 40. We're still paying down the remainder student loan debt.I actually don't appreciate you bragging about your "specialized surgeon" because it perpetuates the fantasy doctors are "rich" when most of them aren't and has tons of debt, and goodness knows we get enough vitriol about it. I had a plumber come into our one bedroom apartment and you could see he could not fanthom why we were living there, and he tried to ask us diplomatically what the hell we were doing. So please stuff it, and do your DH a favor and not perpetuate the "rich doctor" stereotype.
