Oahu Real Estate — Hey guys, this is kind of a random post, but it’s Whatever Wednesdays, so I think it’s ok. Like I’ve said before, I recently bought a house, which I advised against in Do As I Say Not As I Do as a young attending. However, I didn’t come to that decision lightly. So today I’m going to share my opinions on Oahu Real Estate. Let’s begin… This story begins back in 2014 when I first accepted this […]

Watchful Waiting — Hey guys, it’s Medicine Mondays again. To be honest I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about today. However, I recalled in my prior posts about the importance of “doing nothing”. So for today’s post, I’m going to talk about Watchful Waiting. This should be a short post. So it’s mid August now… All of the new interns have cut their teeth now and have a bunch of patients under their belts. Their experience […]

Efficiency — Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again and I was going to continue with my series outside of the normal “Stick to Index Funds” Philosophy. However, after talking last week about Taxable Accounts, I think it was a good idea to talk about Being Tax Efficient, at least a little bit. What is “Being Tax Efficient”? Well, I alluded to this in my prior post, but because of how different securities are taxed, where you put your […]

My House — Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. I didn’t really have any particular topic in mind for today, so I’ve decided to do some reflection on Buying a House, specifically, My House. Is this going to be a long post? I don’t think so. Ok good, your posts are really long lately. Yea, I know. I tend to get verbose. Ok, let’s focus on the topic at hand. My House – Which looks nothing like Flo […]

Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today I’m going to attempt to recreate my “Experience Matters” post that I lost a few weeks ago. Experience Matters? Well of course it does! Well, you may not be thinking of it in the same way I am. Obviously, a novice just starting his trade will not nearly be as confident or have the technical skill as a master who has been doing it for years. This is […]

Taxable Accounts — Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Just like I promised I’m going to kick off my new Finance Fridays series talking about Taxable Accounts. Why has it taken you so long to discuss this? It was all on purpose actually. I wanted to make sure before you went down this road, that everyone had already prioritized the other things on The Checklist. While it may seem amazing to some, there are still those who do […]
