Direct hit. Nail on the head! This is a classic problem in our society today. Fool or no Fool, Rey is a rare exception. Without TV, it is hard for him to generate that kind of money. Remember that we are service professionals. You litreally trade hours for dollars. You make more per hour than most of the pople in society but you do trade hours for dollars. Don't deny it, embrace it. If you want to have super inflated income, you need a business that generates money from something other than CPT codes. Yes, many plastic surgeons are "no insurance" but they are limited by their market.
I am not complaining, just offering perspective. As Surgeons, we are well compensated. But that compensation has a price. Time , energy, and (often)debt during training to name a few.
Spending beyond one's means, no matter how high the income is a very common problem. If high school and college had a mandatory class called "wealth" we would all be better off. 🙂
