Vancouver couple struggles to make ends meet on only $25,000 a month

[master_shake_]

Meet Eric and Ilsa. Eric, 41, is a physician who works one day a week in a medical clinic, for which he earns $200,000 a year. He works one additional day at a university, for which he makes another measly $100,000 annually.
Ilsa, 39, is a dentist currently on maternity leave who will bring in another $150,000 when she returns to work.
And yet, despite their seeming prosperity, this Vancouver couple can’t make ends meet. What’s to be done?!
The doctor and dentist wrote in to the Globe and Mail recently and their story was featured in Friday’s “financial facelift” advice column, in which experts weigh in on how regular folks can balance their budgets.

I have been following this since the advice column came out and I have to strongly think that it's a troll job. Some of it is just ridiculous, in a follow-up column the one day a week doctor claims to work over 100 hours a month. If I end up with any doctor named Eric in his 40's I think I'll be asking to be reassigned from this moron.

LOL.

(If real, cause yeah, no one could really be that dense, it sounds like a dimshit's imaginary *version* of what they think is a 1%'r) those people get the "Excellent First-Worlder" award this week.

Like most EFW's, they probably demand some sort of massive government program to deliver all their champagne dreams and caviar wishes.

I doesn't matter how much you make, if you budget your money poorly, you can run into trouble.
