As I browse the forums, I'm picking up an anti-materialistic vibe pretty much anywhere money is mentioned which is understandable. What really bothers me is that people always go after cars.
Examples of such threads:
1.) Should I go into medicine for the money?
A: If your plan is to drive fancy cars, no.
2.) Good car choices for a medical resident?
A: Toyotas, Hondas, and Subarus are all good choices. Stay away from European cars.
It really annoys me how people associate "new money" with European sports/luxury cars as if the only purpose for these cars is to show off how rich you are.
I'm a long-time car enthusiast, and don't find anything wrong with wanting to own a Porsche or lower end Ferrari as a physician. I DON'T, on the other-hand, expect to live in a mansion, wear a Rolex watch, own a private jet, etc. I don't know why you have to always associate expensive cars with an expensive lifestyle.
I actually frown upon those who daily drive Lambos just because they have the money to; my philosophy says that you shouldn't drive such a car if you don't truly understand its mechanics or how to drive it.
Sorry if this isn't too medically related; I just had to release some steam after constantly seeing people speak negatively about these things.
