The title should really be: “The Biggest Mistake of Your (Attending) Life”, but it didn’t flow as well, so I just cut out the attending part. It ended up sounding click-baitish, but I think that’s ok. What I have to say today will significantly shape your future. So when you read this title, you may have some preconceived notions for what I meant. Perhaps you thought that I was going to say going into medicine […]
Attending
So I’ve had a Twitter account for awhile, which was mostly just used to link to my blog articles. I followed some people, mostly other physicians, but overall, I didn’t really use it. To be honest, I never really gave it a chance. It was just another “social media” thing that I used in hopes that people would browse through my profile and find my blog.

It’s interesting to see how other physicians manage their finances and retirement. Overall, these other bloggers are much more aggressive about putting money away than I am, with plans for earlier […]
Labor Day and Blog Roll
This is the 4th post in my retirement series: Retiring Early, How to Retire Early, and Early Retirement is Easy? Once you decide you want to retire early, you’ll want to evaluate where your post-retirement dollar goes the farthest. I hinted at this in my prior posts. The first thing we need to evaluate is where are your post-retirement dollars coming from? For the majority of retirees, I think their retirement money is going to come from a mix […]
Best Bang for Your Buck Retirement Locations
EpiPen has been in the news a lot lately, mostly about the recent price increases. This has led to strong backlash and criticism against its parent company, Mylan, and its CEO, Heather Bresch. There is a lot information going around. However, I’m going to try to summarize what I have read and pieced together. Ok first things first: EpiPen recently increases the cost of a 2-pack of its product to $608. This was a significant increase since it previously cost […]
