Thank you Christie - great point! Maybe I forgot to say that. But also my sister usually doesn't need reminding to have fun.

I know your sister is a doctor and with that comes salary and responsibility. I would suggest that after paying the bills and adding a substantial amount to savings, be sure to have some fun. Not a "let's go buy a Ferrari" fun, but the occasional splurge, small things that make you happy, emphasis on the "small", are things that help keep you on track financially.
