What type of dentist?

I think that I'll encourage my children to be dentists, instead of physicians. Who knew?!?


yes, it's MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more lucrative.


And significantly less education is required. I know a lot of dentists, and it's a pretty good gig if you can stand the high suicide rate.

Even a crappy shitshack in the suburbs cost $450k and up - that is the ones in the "bad" school zones. The shacks in the "good schools" are $750k and up. Obviously people have to make 200, 300, 500k figures to live in these homes.

We have taken home an average of over a million for several years, but the last few years have been considerably stronger. We haven't finished taxes, but it will be over 1.7M for 2016 (us personally, not gross business income, which is probably in the $8M-$9M range)

I will say that once you start consistently making that kind of money it actually starts to snowball.

DH is a tenured law professor (225K salary) with outside income of around 100K-150K a year (this varies but has been about that for the past two years).

I am a lawyer at a mid-size firm and earn 160K plus a small bonus.

We are both in our 30's.
