[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went out to dinner with my husband and several of his associates who were also MDs.  I am a doctor.  These men brought their wives to dinner.  I didn't know them so I asked them what they did for a living.  They outright tossed up their heads and laughed at me.  They said, we don't work, WE'RE doctors wives.  Like they had won the lottery.  I was speechless.[/quote]

Not any more. Maybe if you're of the older generation. I am married to a doctor and they come with huge student loans, and deferred savings. I remember being at a dinner with some older ladies and basically they were telling me how their lives were like the real housewives. And I was like..yeah that's not happening to me.

I agree.  Both my parents are doctors and we had a very comfortable living growing up, but times have changed.  Medicine isn't as lucrative as it used to be.

"Like they had won the lottery."  Haha.  Doctors can make good money, but you're older when loans are paid off and they reach the peak of their careers later in life.  If these women wanted to win the lottery, they should have dated guys on Wall Street or Silicon Valley.  Doctors don't make "won the lottery" money or "f*ck you money."   [/quote]

I don't know any doctors wives who work. We are all mid-30's.[/quote]
