I'm gonna buy my medical education back from the federal government. Then a black BMW i8 (the batmobile).
Anyone have any interesting ideas on what to buy when we finally make bank?
A nice house is probably is the only thing on my list. I am not into cars or luxury items. I am curious what others plans are?
I have been an attending for several years and I still don't feel like I make bank....
You need a higher limit on your credit cards.More money more problems. I feel like everything I make rapidly disappears as soon as it gets deposited into my account. I need to negotiate a raise. ><

His tax game is weak.The lawyer next door to my parents (owns his own firm) had to pay a total of 500k in taxes (federal and state) for making 900k this last year. You make more you give more. We are moving in that direction as a country whether you like it or not.

You can never have too many clothes or shoes. Just too little closet space. Men can wear the same shirts, pants, and shoes for like 5-10 years.Maybe you shop too much for clothes/shoes?

I find this unlikely... In Canada nobody is ever paying more than 50% of their income in taxes, no matter how many billions you earn, and doesn't the US have less income taxes than Canada? Or is that a myth?

I would think that would fit in well at a club. Sad that I didn't find that apparel to be obnoxious when I read it, until u pointed it out.I did just buy a pair of gold leather pants. Unsure of where I'm going to wear them but..they were so wonderfully obnoxious I had to.

It's good to be the king/queen/princess.I might wear them to work on a day I mostly have to do paperwork. The white coat is pretty long, no one will notice. Or something.
I really don'tb, b and b, you know what it is
I was gonna say...I really don't
...go on..I was gonna say...
I've felt like I was making bank since I got my first residency paycheck, equal to what my dad was making with 20+ years of blue-collar labor. Now that I'm getting attending pay I feel like it's all just a bonus.

...go on..
Didn't he mean Lloyd Banks with Beamer, Benz, Bentley?Have you heard of lil wayne and PMW
If comparing to your parents paycheck, then maybe that is the issue.
20plus years of blue collar work.
vs
12 years of undergrad, med, residency with the hours involved in that.....
The mental drive, the exhaustion, the education, the gunning, the studying...
I don't compare it to blue collar work....
My dad was running the board at a chemical plant, where things tended to blow up if somebody screwed up. He did this on a schedule of 12-hour shifts on a pattern of alternating days and nights that I didn't understand until I was in high school. It was exhausting and high-stakes, and I've never once thought that my job having different stakes or requiring more university education, meant that I deserved to be making more than he did as a clueless week 1 intern. Yet there I was. That's my perspective. I've never been a fan of the point of view that skilled laborers or people with less formal education don't work as hard as I do. They do, just differently.
The deferment of life is what you can't get back.
That's the way I see it.
No matter how much "bank" you make.
That's the difference- I don't feel like I've deferred my life in the slightest. I deferred working by being in school for so long, but I'm 100% happy with how I spent that time. Also, every day I realize how blessed I am that I am able to pay down my debts, live comfortably, and not spend even a millisecond caring about the price of gas or milk. It's an atypical point of view around here but that's where I'm coming from.
If we're going to be realistic, I'll probably just end up spending my first paycheck (at least some of it) on necessary groceries or gas.
But what would I want to spend it on? Oreos for sure. I love that **** lol
A Burberry coat, a Tom Ford suit, a pair of Berluti oxfords, and a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. Fight me
Loubs and Choos
Dear Jesus do I anxiously await the day... Been sleeping on the same crap mattress for ten years. I would rather have a new bed than a new BMW at this point.Bed.
Ain't nothing like sleeping on a mattress that costs more than some peoples cars. (You can spend a hell of a lot more than $5k on a mattress.)
Seriously.
U call it blessed: I think it is because of a lot of hard work and deferring pleasure until now.
You DID build that!
Louboutins are heels and are very much worth it, as are Jimmy Choos. They're like visual orgasms for your feet.Is there super expensive lube that I'm not aware of? (I'm aware of escort tears, not a fan, personally, but they're not THAT expensive)
I like your outlook on life even after having finished a difficult OB-Gyn residency. Your med students are lucky to have you.I call it blessed because I've seen lots of people work just as hard (or harder), and defer pleasure even more than I have, and end up in far, far, worse situations than I am in. So the difference comes down to either luck or something else. I choose to believe it's something else, but even if you think it's just luck, I don't think I can say it's 100% because of me, my efforts, and things I did.

My wife and I already decided we're going to blow 15 grand our first summer after residency at
funny thing is, my friends and i dont give two ****s about what girls wear as long as it looks presentable. girls who wear too many outfits and shoes are just trying too hard and wasting money. we're more impressed by girls who are in good shape.
And the reason you can't be in good shape AND wear nice clothes and shoes is?funny thing is, my friends and i dont give two ****s about what girls wear as long as it looks presentable. girls who wear too many outfits and shoes are just trying too hard and wasting money. we're more impressed by girls who are in good shape.

Funny thing is, girls wear what they think makes them look good (shoes, clothes), not for the primary approval of you and your friends. Like I said, guys can wear the same shirts, pants, and shoes for like 5-10 years, for different occasions, and no one will notice the difference or be the wiser. Guys clothes and shoes don't have as much variety as women's clothes and shoes do.funny thing is, my friends and i dont give two ****s about what girls wear as long as it looks presentable. girls who wear too many outfits and shoes are just trying too hard and wasting money. we're more impressed by girls who are in good shape.
