Default Re: Why be frugal???

Most doctors are poor money managers. They have expetitis. They expect to graduate from medical school making big bucks and start spending like they do. They forget about their medical school loans, start fee for a private practice, etc. Instead they drive fancy cars, wives stay at home, send kids to private school etc. Classic example two doctors from the millionaires next door. One was a PAW the other a UAW.

My mom drives me nuts with this, she thinks that people who drive fancy cars and big houses have a ton of money. She's like "all the doctor's your age have this and this and this." I say to her, gee "wish I were driving a BMW, benz, etc" and a huge home too but too bad I have to save my money. SHE doesn't get that people don't miraculously have money to spend once they start earning it.
