I don't see where that dissipates any heat. And, I don't really see your point.
Finally, in 1975, we bought a house. Yeah, my dad earned a whopping 18,000 a year, I think.
My parents barely made that together. $18,000 in 2008 dollars is roughly $80,000. (ironically what your father made when he retired).
Of course the MDs have a much higher debt load. So what? They earn a lot more. After a few years of saving and repaying, the debt is cleared. Big Whoop.
I owed over $180,000 after medical school and, as a pediatrician, I cannot pay off my loans after a few years of saving.
The average Tufts medical student owes approximately $160,000, a figure that seems rather low when one figures it is the most expensive medical school in the country, and only NYC costs more to live in than Boston.

And talking about Version 5 is boring. It isn't even out yet, and who knows when it will be.
