I am a doctor who earns 4k a month after graduating in 2006. Luckily, I was giving tuiton during medical school days and now have paid off my loan.
I have no car and lives with parents.
The key is not just how much you earn but how much you spend.
I hope all of you can tide over the financial crisis and I now am glad that doctors are recession proof.

Yeah... very good right? Everytime I go to doctor always got such a long queue. I wonder how come there are so many sick people always.

Now with recession, I'm sure you guys will get even better business... good for you.
