Graduate from residency, you earn anywhere from OK to great money, but few doctors earn "fuck you" money in the truest meaning of the phrase.
Thus, graduating from residency is a different story. I should have given you a few more words to go by.
Free hospital food is overrated. Free time is underrated.

My buddy is in his second year of private practice. He is a cardio-thoracic surgeon and stint specialist. I assume he makes 'phuk you' money. His annual medical malpractice insurance is around 225k so the FU money is a relative concept.
Art, what is it about you being so concerned about correcting and/or inferring that those that claim 100k+/annual are full of it? Does everyone have to fit into your model? Statistically speaking, I would imagine that most M3 forum folks are in the upper brackets.
Sadly, our combined income in excess of 100k makes the bills only. House/mortgage in the right school district eats a vast portion of our take home. Welcome to being an adult.
I live vicariously through you all.
