Maybe it's just because I don't like flying. I prefer 8 hours on land instead of like an hour or so flight

The only times I really fly are passing over shithole countries that I don't want to cross, or overseas. For overseas flights I'll land in the closest decent city on the way if my desired destination is really far, and begin exploring from there

4. A house with rooms I've never sat in
5. The version of success I was sold at 22

1. Absolutely worth it if you are into cars and they make you happy.
2. Agree with this-unless you are into watches.
3. Business Class is fine
4. My house is huge, I love the fact that my family always has a place to come to. But once the kids are graduated with college we are selling.
5. I don't know what this means. Is he referring to items 1-4?

Are you really trying to make the argument right now that Teachers are wealthier than Doctors?

Who would have thought things you don't/barely use aren't worth the money?
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Alright, lets start from the top.

Thread titles reads "5 things NOT worth the money" from a doctor.
As I mentioned earlier, doctors rank #6 on top 100 professions that are millionaires by net worth. How can this be as they earn practically half that a year? You mentioned the debt, yes, but its more so life style choices and poor money management. Therefore, you would be a FOOL to grab a doctor off the street and ask them how to spend a buck. You would get a much better answer from someone who ACTUALLY SPENDS MONEY WISELY, such as a teacher, accountant and or engineer because although they make 1/3 the doctor, they, on average, have higher net worths.

This isn't a thread on how much people make.
This isn't a thread on how much debt people have.

This is a thread on "IS X item worth X dollars" and seeking council on that from doctors would be a mistake.

Bro, please get up and turn on that window unit, you are severely dehydrated from a diet of processed sodium rich fast food and an ineffective HVAC system, we are worried for you.

Believe it or not people who make a lot, also spend a lot, or they make poor investment choices. Remember that thread you made last week about putting your money in bonds and getting 5% returns for 20 years? See what I mean?
