Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today I’m going to talk about “Another Case for a Roth 401k”. Another Case for a Roth 401k? Yea. I’ve talked about this a little bit recently. In my opinion, there are only a few select times when a doctor should use a Roth 401k. The “best time” would be during residency, as I’ve detailed in my prior post series: Roth 401k/403b in Residency Roth 401k/403b in Residency Roth […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today will just be a short post about the “Crypto Bear Market“. Crypto Bear Market? Yea. Since hitting it’s all-time high in January 2018 of ~$20, Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to tumble down to a low of ~$5800, now trading around $6100 or so today. There was a pretty significant “crash” which dropped it by half to about $10k or so, but we’ve just seen a slow bleed since […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is going to be a somewhat reflective and introspective post about “Your Medical Career“. For all the new interns starting in July… how long do you plan to practice? Your Medical Career? Yea. I’ve touched upon this subject a few times since I’ve been writing my blog. Of course, my experience may not be the same as everyone else’s. However, I think that when people decide to become […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. This is a little off-topic, but today is going to be a short post that sometimes “It’s the Little Things” that matter. It’s the Little Things? Yea. In general, I talk about Value Cost Ratio and how I value Experience over Things. However, today I wanted to talk about perspective when it comes to being a consumer. For example, if you want to buy lunch you can go grab a […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today isn’t really a crypto weekly post because I wanted to talk about something more specific… “The Crypto Crossroads“. This should be a short post. The Crypto Crossroads? Yea. A lot has changed since the advent of Bitcoin. An unknown creator and a somewhat shady past with Silk Road, but something that has stayed (mostly) constant is its immutability and security. It remains the prototype and poster child for […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today I’m going to talk about something that is kind of difficult to explain, but is best summed up as “Gut Feeling“. What do you mean “Gut Feeling”? Well, the idea of a gut feeling is kind of a general one. I’ve talked about it before when it comes to choosing a residency. However, in today’s post we’re talking about the gut feeling in regards to being in the […]
