Five years have now passed since the world met Drs. Anderson, Benson, Carlson, and Dahlgren, and it’s time to change things up a bit and expand upon their stories.
Dr. Anderson is relatively frugal. While expenses of $120,000 a year may not seem frugal to the average American household earning about half of what her household spends, the good Dr. A doesn’t know many physicians that practice the fiscal restraint that she does.
Dr. Benson doesn’t know how people can live like Dr. Anderson. He didn’t spend “six years of evil medical school” to be called Mr. Evil or to live like a resident as an attending.
Dr. Carlson doesn’t think her family’s living all that grand, but in a high cost of living area, $200,000 a year is not enough to let them live like kings and queens.
