I started out in Premed too, but was a lot better at Math and Physics, make a lot less because of it.
MD’s on the east coast also make the same amount as your quote. My neighbors, 2 of them are MD’s, are in this range. For the 900-1M range in TN, SC, GA, NC will buy you a mansion and acres, or the best upscale area on the golf course in any large metro. Everything will be in walking distance. One of my neighbors came from CA, that sucking sound is everyone leaving!
The first thing you notice when moving here is that on the highway people actually move over to let you go by. When you go to the supermarket, people are actually nice to you and start up conversations with you. When you are out and about everyone (even toital strangers) says “hi” when you approach. Bottom line, people are more trusting and friendly when the population is not crowded and balkenized like So Cal.
You’all (lol) should escape while you still can and make a better life for yourselves and your families. they will certainly appproeciate spending more time with you!
Good Luck,

Yes we miss some of the LA stuff, I miss the surf, but you can still have earthquakes in West TN, but fires are difficult to start, that’s why we have awesome 1st class fireworks for sale! Don’t need to go to crowded venues and drive an hour to see good displays, we band together with neighbors and collect about $500 and have our own party, while our kids light off the fireworks (the real stuff too!)
