[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was a pretty renowned and successful doctor in the city where we grew up but we never lived in the wealthiest neighborhoods nor did he own any luxury cars because he basically put all his money into savings and me and my brother's education.  Turning the clock several years forward, he was able to fully fund my and my brothers grad school education (law and medicine) and put down a healthy portion of the down payment for our houses for which we are eternally grateful.  So the moral of the story, different priorities different lives. I'm sure he could have splurged more during his money earning years but I'm more than certain he wouldn't have had such a safety net during retirement. [/quote]

Your father was not be as renowned, successful,or wealth as you may be imagining.  Most "prominent" physicians I know earn well enough to live in the best neighborhoods, send kids to private schools, drive German cars, annual family vacations, AND loan free college education for kids, weddings paid for, and help with home purchase or starting a business, etc.     [/quote]

You have no idea what you're talking about and you're being unnecessarily mean.

Many prominent (world renowned) physicians don't actually make a ton of money because they work in research-based academic medical centers.    I can think of a dozen physicians at Hopkins (who people travel from around the world for because they're literally the best in the world) and you'd be shocked at how little they make.  
Making a "ton of money" in medicine has very little to do with "prominence" and everything to do with much the physician leverages their training (or not)[b] into an end goal of making money[/b].  Some of the worst out there make the most cash and vice versa (and everything in between). [/quote]
