[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As our Doctors get into extreme debt levels for the opportunity to work for free for a chance at becoming a doctor, this is probably another corruption based "complex" do get the doctors to shut up and play the game of mass prescribing of drugs.  That's bc our country is a corrupt shtshw owned and ran by billionaires who want to get everyone addicted to drugs from the youngest toddler to the oldest geriatric.  America as a nation of junk food, druggie, pill popping, idiots explains so much as to why we do what we do.[/quote]

Our doctors go into extreme dept because they are stupid with money and spend inappropriately when in med school and residency.  [/quote]
That’s over generalization.  Doctors are known to be terrible with money, but med school tuition is crippling. My child went to undergrad for free and her 529 will still fall short of paying for med school. [/quote]

It isn’t that “doctors” are terrible with money, it’s the middle class and upper middle class young adults are terrible with money.  Many do not know how to live frugally with minimal expenses. They are used to take out, vacations, restaurants, parties, etc. The living expend up being a big part of their overall med school dept- then add in they decide to get married in residency (worse, to another resident in a lot of debt) and have ids shortly after.  Now they have a lot more expenses, need to buy a house, etc.  If need to take out loans in med school, you need to live as frugally as possible through med school, residency, and the few years following- and not get married and have kids until you are well on your way to paying it all off.
