Margaret Curtis is a general pediatrician living in Maine. She earned her undergraduate degree from Harvard and her medical degree from Dartmouth, where she met her husband, who's now a urologist. The couple has three boys. As Margaret says, “Like many physicians, we didn’t pay much attention to money during the perfect storm of the early career years: medical school, marriage, residency, babies. Our lifestyle creep took the form of three kids and two mortgages.” Since then, she's realized better money management would translate into better lives for her family. At WCI, she often focuses on her dual-income physician family and their budget-conscious ways.
