There is no way this story is real. I can't imagine that one could get the expertise to command this salary in your early to mid thirties (as just finishing a residency will take you to your early thirties), and there aren't many medical specialties that pay this much (maybe high end plastic surgery or a high volume CT surgeon) and again, even for the ones that do, you're not getting that salary fresh out of training, which would have to happen for you to have "a few million" saved by age 40. This is 100 percent fabrication. [/quote]

DH is an orthopedic spine surgeon. Most of his colleagues in various areas break $1 million. They are one of the highest paid sub specialties though.[/quote]

NP here.  I don't think the question is whether there are subspecialties that break $1M, it's when that happens in ones career.  My Dad is an interventional cardiologist, also one of the highest paid subspecialties, he easily earns 7 figures/year.  But even adjusting for inflation there's no way his salary had cleared that figure high enough by his early/mid-30s that he would have been able to save the equivalent of "a few million" by the time he was 40.  And he is foreign born where the age of completing med school is younger, so he had a few years' leg up.[/quote]
