They pick a $200,000 medical school rather than a $250,000 school, and use the savings to fund the first 5 years of raising their child.
The economics of this are substantially worse. Someone in medical school has very little free time, and so needs more than the standard amount of childcare. Even standard child care, however, is going to cost more than $10k/y, more like $20k.
