If you do it corrects you can plenty of toys as well
Same as neuronbob. If you see his house, similar to mine . Not living in 10,000 sq mansions like our contemporary
Allows you to have paid off toys
No debt
Save for kids college
If I lose job tomorrow I can live 24 months without one
Being overly financial conservative has its perks
Then again having your life partner on board is key . My wife doesn't buy diamonds or care for range rovers so I am lucky
Two docs I work with
Cheap as can be
But their wives live million dollar lifestyle
So they are barely getting by
And fighting with wives all the time
You are almost there my friend, keep up the good work

i recommend against it, if you are going in it for the money. Due to the length of training and especially if you specialize and compare it to the opportunity cost it isn't worth it
That said, if it's your passion it's never too late. Our graduating class of 162, 7 people were in the 40-50 age range and did it as second career

Some people pay minimum over 30 years
I did tons of moonlighting (helicopter transport) during 3 year residency and 3 year fellowship . So in addition to that money for first 36 months of real job lived like student and paid it all off

You nailed it on the head
Physicians are horrendous in the business world and people take advantage
Aside from match day (when we match into residency and fellowship) other big day in a physicians life is signing day= when you get your first contract (job)
You usually sign for a job in October-March and you start your job in July.
Banks will approve you on a 1million dollar house loan with 5% down and no payments till your first check
On signing day 7 of 13 of my close friends all bought a house between 800-1m. Due to us starting our professional lives in our early 30s there is a need to overcompensate and that perpetuates the cycle of being in debt forever
Physicians may be high earners but as a result of poor decision making they aren't wealthy

550 miles on one tank or two? One tank means you got ~35mpg...

The car came with a full tank of gas
So the first tank we bought was tank #2.
Has 650 miles as of tonight, 30 day ownership
Plate is here
Registration is here
Title is here
Ordered pack of 12 oem filter
Given we fall under "severe driving conditions ," looks like 3 month OCI needs to be followed
Car comes with 2 year/24k mile free service
Using current mileage :
Month 3, 1800 miles oil change at home
Month 6, 3600 miles oil change at home
Month 9, 5400 miles oil change at dealer -free
Month 12, 7200 miles oil change at home
So maintenance cost for 12 months should be $105 for the year.
Similar to our bmws for the first 3 years subaru will give free wipers and cover all brake consumables , though we won't be needing them at the mileage she is incurring

However numbers suggest otherwise
