Flexibility
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”. This should be a short post. Financial Flexibility? Yea. What do you mean? First a little background: I kind of put things into a few different categories when it comes to finance. Necessities Food Water Shelter Priorities Student Loans 403b/401k/457 Backdoor Roth IRA +/- 529 Flexible Basically, this […]

How 'Bout Them Dodgers 1
Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. I felt today was a good time to talk about the Dodgers since today is Game 7 of the World Series. So then… “How ‘Bout Them Dodgers?” First some background… I grew up in Southern California, just outside of Anaheim. Being so close to California Angels (now Anaheim Angels), you might assume I was an Angels fan. However, that isn’t the case. While my parents weren’t really basball fans, […]

Cholesterol, HDL, and LDL 1
Hey everyone, this is kind of a weird topic for today’s Medicine Mondays, but there has always been some confusion surrounding “cholesterol”, so I wanted to talk about it here.

At my yearly checkup, my primary care doctor (who is […]

Sorry 2
Hey everyone, sorry this post is late. However, it’s just to explain that there is no post today. Here’s the story: I forgot that today was Wednesday and I decided to have a Father-Daughter day with @vietaliana. We shot a few more videos for her YouTube channel in the morning, ate lunch, and then watched a movie on the TV (with popcorn!) while lounging on the couch. So… basically… I forgot about Whatever Wednesdays. My […]

What is Social Capital?
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again and I’m going to talk about a concept that isn’t necessarily related to Medicine directly. However, I’m going to try to narrow down this concept into the medical field. Today we’re going to talk about “What is Social Capital?” **Oops, I accidentally published this early… anyways ENJOY! What is Social Capital? Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia’s definition: “Social capital is a form of economic and cultural capital in which social networks are central, transactions marked by reciprocity, trust, and cooperation, […]
