Hey everyone it’s Finance Fridays again. Today’s post might seem a little off topic, but today I want to talk about “The Lottery” — but perhaps not quite in the sense you might think for a Finance Fridays post. The Lottery? Yea. When I say Lottery, you might be thinking that I mean the Mega Millions or Powerball or something. In general, that is what most people think about when you hear the word “lottery” […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again. I could talk more about my Dodgers and how awesome they’re playing, but today we’re going to go to a topic with a little more depth. Let’s talk about Cognitive Dissonance. What is Cognitive Dissonance? The definition you can find online is this: (from wikipedia) In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today I’m going to talk about a concept that people seem to understand intuitively as common sense, but I will try to flesh out… it’s the “Pay Now or Pay Later” concept. Pay Now or Pay Later? Yea. It’s kind of a companion post to my prior post of: Buy the Best Versus Buy Cheap So, let me first give you some background from when I was a kid: […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. It’s about that time again… the Match has come and gone. Let’s talk about “Preparing for Residency”. Preparing for Residency To be perfectly honest, this is kind of a lazy post on my part since it is kind of rehash of multiple prior posts. However, the Match happens every year and every year there are new 4th years medical students who will be starting their residency. For that reason, […]

Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. Today will be a short post about “Revisiting the Roth 401k”. Revisiting the Roth 401k? Yea. I’ve talked about it before multiple times, but in general, there aren’t that many instances (for doctors) that using a Roth 401k makes sense. One of the times that it makes a lot of sense is when you’re a resident. However, I’ve discussed some other times when you can consider utilizing a Roth […]

Hey everyone, it’s Whatever Wednesdays again… today we’re going to talk about “The Need to Declutter”. The Need to Declutter? Yea. We moved to Hawaii 5 years ago now, and we’ve lived in this house for about 3 years now. When we first moved to Hawaii, it was just me, my wife, and baby Kylie. We didn’t have much of our own stuff since we lived in a furnished condo. Kylie had her toys, but […]
