Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays today. Today I just wanted to talk about me doing “Career Day” at my daughter’s elementary school. Career Day When I initially signed up to do the Career Day for my daughter, I wanted to try to explain the differences between different types of doctors. I wanted to help the children to understand that while we do different things, we’re all still doctors. So I’ll just try to explain how […]

Tax Season is Upon Us - Small
Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today is just a short post to follow-up on how my 2018 Taxes are going. Things went pretty much as expected. As expected, we ended up owing the state of Hawaii some money this year because of changes in the Hawaii State Income Tax. However, because I was pretty conservative with my withholding this year, I didn’t end up owing too much and we actually received a small refund […]

Hey everyone, just a short light-hearted post today for April Fool’s. April’s Fools? Yea.

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 […]
