Here are some I have seen: Fellow resident had paid-off car, but purchased a new BMW X3 during PGY-I (husband drove a 3series). Another bought a 5800sq foot ~500k home (no kids). While in med school I observed a resident drive around on new BMW with license plate with either Dr or MD in it (not sure what). Attendings not being aware of backdoor Roths. Fellow residents who during 1st year out of residency purchase a home for 400-500k (>2x their salary). Attendings having extended loan repayment periods over 10 years.

Attendings not maxing out their 401ks. Buying 50k cars while still having 100k plus in student loans. Many are definitely taking 10+ years to pay off loans. Lots overspend on housing although we are in an incredibly hcol area so that one is tough. 500k sounds positively restrained (and not possible short of a tiny 1br condo)!
