It’s Finance Fridays again… did you know you there is a Roth IRA for Kids? So in previous posts I’ve talked about Roth IRAs and Backdoor Roth IRAs. I’ve even talked about the importance of utilizing a Roth 401k/403b in Residency. But what if we go way back into time, before medical school, before undergrad, before graduation… back to when you were 12 or 13 years old. You probably did some odd jobs around the neighborhood right? For […]

It’s Whatever Wednesdays and this will be a short post on just What is #illumedati? Well, first let’s go back to when it all started. You can read my post from October 17, 2016 to see where the name came from. Essentially, I was trying to create my own hashtag, mostly just to catalog my blog posts and keep them separate from my normal Twitter GIF spamming. I liked the whole “Twitterati” moniker which means “avid […]

I know, I know, I know… it’s Medicine Mondays, not Finance Fridays. However, like I alluded to on my prior posts: Spousal IRA and Talking to Med Student Me, this is at least circumferentially related to Medicine Mondays, since it is a very small window of opportunity for which utilizing a Roth carries significant advantages.

Hi guys, it’s Finance Fridays and I’m going to talk about what a Spousal IRA is. For those who were keeping track, this is kind of out of order. I was supposed to talk about Backdoor Roth IRAs today. However, I felt it was more important to talk about Spousal IRAs for those who don’t know about them.

Hi guys, it’s Medicine Mondays again and I’m going to be Talking to Med Student Me. Basically, a lot of this web site is me reflecting back on medical school and residency. However, I wanted to take this time to reflect on some choices I made as a medical student/resident that I thought were good and would repeat, and others which I would change.

Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I want to talk about a relatively simple concept, but one that is probably overlooked: Experience Matters. Stock Photo from: Pixabay Experience Matters? Well, of course it does. Well, yes, of course it does… but I’m not talking about it in the conventional sense of doing your 500th cholecystectomy or reading your 1000th head CT. However, let me try to explain what I mean. A career in medicine is […]
