Well, it sounds like you and your spouse have worked very hard to achieve this level of success. What would you say your secrets are? What? What? How did you do it? You know, lots of people, despite being orthopedic surgeons, despite, you know, minimizing their debt, don't accumulate as much wealth as you have. What have been your secrets to success?
I think big key has been my wife. She's been an amazing partner. We've moved so much and she's handled everything with grace and done a phenomenal job of keeping everything together. We're both pretty frugal, live within our means. I've got a 16 year old car with 160,000 miles on it that I'm planning to keep driving even after we move. She's got a five year old minivan. We've got all of our cars completely paid off. We tried to avoid debt and kind of focused on putting finances first and making sure that we pay ourselves first. Max out retirement account money comes out beginning of the month before you even see it going, to make sure we do that before we spend anything.
