Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and today I’m going to talk about something relevant to The Match… what to do if you’re “Below Average”. Below Average? Yea. I recently was asked by a friend of a friend about how to approach The Match when you’re “Below Average”. First of all, let’s define what this person meant by “Below Average”. In a general sense, this probably means to the entire “medical student package” meaning your grades […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today we’re going to ponder the question “What if College is Free?” What if College is Free? Well, since I talk a lot about 529s and saving money for college, I thought it was appropriate to talk about “What if College is Free?” As some of you may know, college is free in certain countries. However, as we’ve talked about before: There is no free lunch. Their “free college” […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today is just going to be a “Quick Foodie Post”. Quick Foodie Post? Now, I’m not a “foodie” really, but I like to find good “bang for your buck” places which I add to my rotation — usually for lunch. I had lunch with a friend of mine at Wagaya Ramen today. I had the Garlic Tsukemen Ramen ($13.95). To be honest, it was my first time having Tsukemen […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again, and today is the followup to the post “Prelude to Next Week” and we’re going to talk about “What if?” What if? So the post I wrote was to think about a series of questions: What would you do if you didn’t go to medical school? The opportunity cost of 4 years of medical school and 3+ years of training (6 for me). What would you have done with […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today we’re going to just do some free-thinking (rambling) about “The Head Start”. The Head Start? Yea. So, I think it’s no surprise that when it comes to wealth, people don’t start at the same level or even the same time. There are a lot of sarcastic quotes about this like: “The best way to become a millionaire is to start off as a billionaire. “ Then of course, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. Today is just a short post about where I am with “More Home Improvement”. More Home Improvement? Yea, I’ve written about it before, but recently I’ve taken to get my lanai (deck) renovated. It’s taken a little longer than expected, and also has required additional work. However, both of these things were in my realm of expectations. Estimates are only estimates. However, I am confident that the lanai will […]
