None of the lawyers or physicians we know live radically different lives than we do(meaning nothing special, no lives of the rich and famous). I do know they work long hours, are constantly on call and really deeply care(physicians especially) about what it is they do. They seem to have great retirements(they ought to get something for the amount of hours they work!) but retire late in life. Maybe the late retirements are because of the commitment required of the professions and that it's just hard to let it all go.
My perception is the money classes in the USA are, not in any special order, successful entrepeneurs, old money families, Wall Street types of all stripes, Corp level exec classes, entertainers(athletes, media types). I don't think generally lawyers or physicians are in it as a class(though some certainly are).
