[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]two doctors HHI 350K, soon to increase to near 500K.  We are looking to buy a house in that price range and will put 20% + down. we are just savers. Save for retirement, college for kids and a house. drive regular cars, currently live in a small house and don't spend tons on extras.[/quote]

We would be savers, too, with that income. DH's brother is a doctor and his loan payments are huge--did you guys have student loans?[/quote]

One of us was military for a while (so no siginificant loans) and the other only has med school loans. Our loans are such low interest, that we will continue to pay them off (extra payments a year etc) but are in no rush. You are right it is def. easier to save the more money you make - but easier to spend too.

To the PP who asked how much time we spend with our kids...a lot. We could both actually make more money but do not work more to do so in order to be with our children as much as possible. They always come first.

While I love being a doctor, I am not sure I would want this life for my children. It has been a long, hard road - lots of college, lots of long hours, physical and emotional wear and tear. We make money now, but not until the past couple years (and who knows what the future holds). We are, however very thankful for what we have and realize we are fortunate.
