    Never made sense to me that House and his crew were always complaining about how they couldn’t afford things. House would even leech off of Wilson in the cafeteria by making him pay for his food all the time.

      lots of doctors have money issues.

      in that they spend more than they make and have no financial literacy.

      this is also compounded by the fact most of them are from well-off households where they never had to manage expenses or budget.

      ever doctor i have met has horrible spending habits and zero idea how money works. or they are crazy rich and think they are poor because their 5 million dollars at age 35 isn’t enough to be secure unless it becomes 500 million.

      That’s explicitly addressed in an episode where he admits he’s just seeing how far he can take his generosity.

      I mean, maybe they never show you how many malpractice lawsuits House produces between miracle cases. So he is poor paying for them all.
