Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is going to be a kind of stream of consciousness post about “Changing Jobs and Losing Money”. First of all, let me be clear that I’m not talking about me. I like my job and I don’t see myself leaving it until I retire from medicine completely. However, as I’ve talked about before in Choosing Your First Job, The Temporary First Job, and Looking for a New Job, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Dodger’s Opening Day is tomorrow, Thursday, March 28th. So today I just wanted to ponder the question “Is Max Muncy ok?” For those who don’t know, Max Muncy had a breakout year in 2018. He hit for a .263 average, had a .391 OBP, slugged for .582, and posted a .973 OPS. If you include the 35 home runs in there and 79 walks in 481 plate appearances, that’s […]

For example, in my wife’s 457, because there were no great options, so I opted to just go with […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today will just be a short post on “What’s up with Cardano?” and where it’s going. For those of you who don’t follow cryptocurrency or my take on it, the long and short of it is that I consider cryptocurrency (in its current state) to be gambling. However, I truly do believe that in the end, it will be transformative technology, I just don’t know when the end is, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This will be a short post about why you should “Starting with The End”. Starting with The End? Yea. First, a little background. I had a little staycation this weekend. We went over to the North Shore and spend a few nights at Turtle Bay. The kids had fun with the pool, slides, and the beach. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see any turtles since it was a little […]
