I'm pretty sure I noted your profession in my posts, in fact, I mentioned that as a second year doctor your salary is more realistically estimated at 70-90k.
You are no different.
You just think you are.
You are kidding yourself.

Really, so as a third year doctor, with no formal specialist qualifications, your income goes from 70-90k (doing dead end night shifts for most of the year), to 500k guaranteed as a minimum?
Sorry, this is your ego talking.
Tell me what specialty this is...

Oh really, do they advise buying Porsche's after you graduate too, because you are 'special'.
There are NO 'financial secrets'.
Please enlighten us on this 'completely different strategy for doctors'!!! - I'll bet that you have no idea what it is and will not be able to tell us.
Buy the stupid car and dissapear into the nothingness that you came from please.
Felt the need to respond to some of these attacks. Sorry, but i cant just keep quiet when my character is being questioned like that.
mate, what's your problem? i came here asking for some constructive advice and opinions and i got them from everyone. You on the hand also provided me with your opinion but served them up with a healthy slice of negativity and personal attacks? Not necessary.
As far as my projected salary goes, why would I lie? I don't know anyone here. I dont need to try and impress anyone here. I'm looking for great advice, lying about my salary would be counter productive to getting useful tailored advice. Call me ill informed if you like but don't suggest that i'm inflating figures because of an ego or something like that. Disappear into the nothingness that I came from? Why is that necessary? Noone was arguing with you, why so angry? Chill dude, it'll be good for your blood pressure.
In answer to your questions regarding the 500k salary. I never said that I would be on 500k in 3 yrs. I said that if i got into my specialty I would be gauranteed an income of 500k/yr minimum. I didn't say i'd be on that straight away. That salary comes when you finish the training program which is 5 years long. Sorry if you got confused. I'll rephrase it for you. I should be getting into my specialty of choice within 1-3 years, once i'm in the training program i know (barring any disaster such as severe accident resulting in a disability etc) that upon finishing the training my salary will be min 500k/yr. This is not debatable mate. I know you have some buddies in the medical profession etc, but I'm telling you facts. Once again, no reason for me to lie here.
So yeh, just calm down a bit and stop taking the angry pills.
