I don’t have the answers but the focus you have is awesome. I am sure you will make it.
Being able to move vs being able to afford a luxury penthouse are 2 very different goals.
As for moving, just don't aquire a bunch of useless shit over the next few years. Just the essentials. Cheap furniture to serve the purpose and can part with when its time to move. So much easier to move without having to haul tables, beds, couches, and junk across the country. Get a buddy to drive your car (buy food, hotel, and a flight home for them, and a massive IOU) and you drive a uhaul. You can get this done easy with a few grand.
As for a luxury penthouse, youre talking about a 10,000 a month expense.... Even if you let yourself spend 30% of income on rent (which is the highest anyone recommends), you need 35k coming in every month, $420,000 a year. No way you can pull that off while in med school unless you are just insanely lucky and a vampire who doesnt need sleep lol. Lets bring expectations down to reality. Sure you could save every dime you make over the next few years and maybe have a nice little nest egg, but do you really want to blow that on trying to impress people who dont really care for a year or so? Id use that nest egg to pay for med school, launch a business, or be set up for retirement far sooner than trying to get a lease on a penthouse
In med school, you won’t be making much money, and you’ll have astronomically high expenses. Save up as much as you can before you start, so that you can avoid massive student loans. Assume you won’t be living in that luxury penthouse while in school (you won’t have the income necessary to support that).
Once you’ve graduated and are making a 200k salary, you can live wherever you want.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Focus on getting through the years of service and then on getting your degree. If you can have that degree of patience, you will literally never know want again. Again, read I Will Teach You To Be Rich to understand how a powerful vision will propel you to your goals.
