New Doctors struggle. The college debt that they pay off is around 300,000 Most work very, very long hours and after Med School they have ongoing education costs that add up too. They are about 30 by the time they graduate and have worked much much harder than any of their non doctor peers and have lived on scraps from 18 to 30. But yes over the long haul they make enough to live nicely. If you would like to go to the dumb doctor when you need an operation raise your hand... Oh.. you want the best of the best, but you want them to be happy with plumbers pay.

Also, what they tithe a month is more than what I make a month, so seriously. Not interested.

What in under god? They can afford private schools, medical insurance, retirement panning, college and vacations, and I am seriously meant to be crying for them because they aren't that rich really? The hell with that. I'll save my sympathy for people who need it.

I would do fine on $12,000 a month, but I understand that "rich" is subjective and they are the ones living their lives. If they've worked hard to earn what they earn, I don't understand why they should be taxed EXTRA. It's almost like a punishment for making wise choices. This is one of my issues with Democrats. Let's punish some of the families who are making good financial choices so we can give free money to the ones that aren't. I know this is not the case in ALL situations (I'm not a die hard Republican, either), but it seems to be a prevailing attitude.

On a different note, I don't consider private school to be a self-inflicted expense. My family also is black and middle class (although not as "middle" as this couple) and we didn't have gobs of money, but we went to private high schools and took educational vacations/study abroad trips to Europe - why? Because it levels the playing field.

Many white families do this as a given. Why shouldn't we? For my family, it meant saving for such things and sometimes scrimping, but each family decides for themselves what's non-negotiable.

And for the record, it's TITHING to their church, not tiding.
