iPhone X 1
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. It’s been awhile since I did my impressions of the iPhone X, back in mid September. Well, the pre-order happened and I managed to snag 2, one for my wife and one for me. And now, it’s time for Average Joe’s Final iPhone X Review. First things first: I don’t want people to think I can just blow $1150 on a phone (twice!) whenever I feel like it. This […]

How's the Match Going?
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I just realized that I haven’t really dedicated any posts to the one thing weighing on the minds of US 4th year medical students everywhere… The Match. So today I’m going to ask everyone “How’s The Match Going?” How’s the Match Going? So it’s mid November now, the Match should already be in full swing.

My Little Ones
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. This post today isn’t necessarily related to Finance Fridays, however, I felt it was at least circumferentially related, as I’ll explain. Today we’re going to talk about “Starting a Family.” Starting a Family? Yea. So here’s the background story: I was talking to someone recently who just finished fellowship in neuroradiology. He moved back home where his family was and started a new job. Currently, he was just crashing at […]

It’s more of a sniffly-sneezy mope around home all day kind of sick.  So today I’m going to talk about something called “The 33% Concept“. [I’m sorry guys, for some reason, this post didn’t go at its scheduled time, so I am manually posting it now.] What is “The 33% Concept”? Well, there are […]

Sick Again
Hey guys, it’s Medicine Mondays… and I’m sick. I went to sleep around 11 pm, and I just rolled out of bed right now at about 12:45 pm. That’s almost 14 hours in bed. However, I wanted to at least let everyone know that there is no real post today before I crawl back into bed again after some Dayquil and Cepacol. I think this particular cold came from my son first, then permeated the […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Last week I talked about Risk and Responsibilities, but today I’m going to talk about something some what related “Financial Flexibility”.

Necessities Food Water Shelter Priorities Student Loans 403b/401k/457 Backdoor Roth IRA +/- 529 Flexible Basically, this […]
