[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dad’s best friend was an emergency room position.

In his later years, he and his wife would rent a condo for six weeks on Sanibel Island. He could not afford to buy a condo there. The neighbor was a retired plumber. He owned three condos in the building.  My emergency room doctor friend said he should’ve been a plumber and not an ER doctor and he would’ve been able to afford to buy a condo.

Then he did not understand how to save, at all. We make a ton in medicine. ER docs make over 350k and lowest-paid primary care often make 250k.  OB and surgeons are easily above 450k. Some docs choose part time to see their kids and "settle" for 70% of FT rates. 
Two doc families or doc-lawyer, doc-dentist families are the norm among my doc friends. I only know one doc friend out who has a stay at home partner. We all could easily afford a condo if we wanted one, and some have grand second homes. The others have put our money into private k-12 and private college for 2-3 kids each. And that is after paying off med loans, which over half of us had.[/quote]
