You know what they say.. personal finance is truly personal.

It's too bad the company is trending in the wrong direction because by all accounts, the vehicles themselves are top notch.

In terms of EVs...

I'm partway through Die With Zero. It's been thought provoking so far. We've made a 5 year bucket list of things we want to do before we turn 40 and are...

Got my TLH in on Tuesday. Dumped half my quarterly bonus into the market today as well. It's the only part of my finances that isn't automated, because...

This is an aside but do you guys tip based on the post-tax total or the pre-tax total? I grew up in a no sales tax state and once I moved, it always rubbed...

Bought an Xbox Series X now that they’re finally in stock.

Thinking about adding a detached garage or a garage lift so I can add another...

Good luck! Keep us posted....

Not if you slip and fall down an entire flight of them like I did on Monday morning. Bruised my tailbone pretty good. Had a busy OR day lined up too,...

According to the Fed in 2020, it is ~30% of Adults. Seniors over the age of 65 are ~26% of Adults. So it's far from a majority, but it is also not insignificant....

Probably unnecessary to fixate too much on dollar per wRVU when the real roadblock is missing out on the other income streams you receive as a partner...

[TheDangerZone]

Gotcha, well it is certainly much easier to click subscribe on Reddit than it is to register for a forum. Also I assume there are a lot of lurkers in...

Fair enough. With regards to oculoplastics, there are a plenty of functional issues such as orbital tumors, ptosis, entropion, thyroid eye disease, facial...

I’m surprised you say the subreddit outperforms the forum. It always seems pretty dead to me. A small handful of new posts a day each with typically...

So, do you regret going into plastics? And to be clear, you’re saying you don’t respect the ones who just focus on cosmetics, right?...

[TheDangerZone]

Of all the factors, I would say income potential was behind the ability to operate, interest in the specialty itself, and lifestyle. If every speciality...

I think this thread and the experienced shared have been helpful to me. I can see how these investments might not be my favorite asset class to deal with...

I am so confused. I don’t know what this has to do wideopenspace’s brother with questionable judgement and also don’t know what you’re referencing...

With high interest loans about to be cleared, guessing you plan for this to go up a decent bit?...

Just FYI OP confirmed that by they would be making 350k for 10k wRVUs not that 350k is their total comp. But yes, ownership is laughing all the way to...

First of all, it's great that you felt compelled to ask for advice. So don't feel bad about the answers you're getting.

Based on the numbers...

It’s about time.

Haven't been checking my balances more than once a month lately just to update my spreadsheets. When the market is on the up and up, I usually find myself...

Must have missed this the first time, so just to clarify: by stating you “see this all the time”, are you equating an ophthalmologist recommending...

[TheDangerZone]

Can you clarify what the diagnosis was or what the concern was? Sounds like a non-urgent embolic workup. If there was an embolus or amaurosis, then your...

I would guess something like 5% and that most are private practice owners and/or “innovators” with industry ties.

Was there a reason you quoted me in particular?

I was just curious about how leveraged funds were doing since TQQQ was a favorite of many...

Any idea what the correlation is between BTC and US stocks? Do they typically move in tandem?...

[TheDangerZone]

I just looked at TQQQ and it's down about 40% in 2022. Yikes.

I sincerely hope it works out for you. I would not have the risk tolerance for that. Regardless of whether or not it works out, hopefully this will be...
