Well last week I officially became an ex-con, having attended my first FinCon conference. FinCon has become a mecca where financially oriented individuals undergo an annual pilgrimage so that they can be immersed in activities with other like-minded individuals. One of my biggest regrets after starting this blog in April 2018 was not attending […]
Welcome to another installment of the X-ray Beam series. As physicians we have spent decades in training and 10s if not 100s of thousands of dollars to achieve that medical degree. We therefore deserve the best contract we can get. Too often, however, we just quickly sign on the bottom line when we are […]
Sir Isaac Newton has rightfully taken a place in the pantheon of great scientists. Newton, Galileo and Einstein make up the triumvirate that is the Fathers of Physics. As a great percentage of my livelihood results from the science of physics it would seem odd that I would be blaspheming the one who helped […]
Thank you for stopping by for another installment in my Divorce and FIRE series. I have been thrilled with the support and comments shown by my readers to these individuals who have really opened up and shared with us a very traumatic time in their lives.

Welcome to The Waiting Room, a place no one really wants to be in but is a necessary evil if you want to get the appropriate medical/financial care. I hope this latest offering can help you bide the time. Burnout In a previous post I described a burnout continuum in which there […]

Breaking one or more components of this tenet implies that you may find yourself in a financial pit with little […]
I would say the vast majority of the time the mission of this blog is to inspire readers with some of my life events, both good and bad, so that you can derive some benefit if you find yourself in a similar position. On very rare occasions the roles can actually be reversed and […]
