His uncle wasn't mega-rich but as a neurosurgeon he commanded a pretty respectable income. His humble lifestyle was the stuff of legend at the hospital.
In the doctors parking lot you saw rows of sports cars and rare models of vehicles. And then Jeff would come limping in with his squeaking rickety '88 reliant.
At Johns Hopkins Hospital cafeteria he didn't want to pay for a drink so he would get a water and a bunch of lemons to make lemonade.
For 12+ hour standing surgeries other doctors came in wearing special high-priced shoes that adapted to the contours of their feet. Jeff came in wearing the same grey New Balance running shoes that he bought over and over and over again.
He didn't want to hire a web developer so he bought a giant coding book and taught himself from absolute scratch. I guess the time cost of learning is much lower when you are a brain surgeon.
