April Total Income: Busy month, this was my highest income month ever, making over 56k, mainly thanks to continued solid telemedicine income.

March Total Income: Another solid month of lots of work for the both of us, still blows my mind that we make 50-60k a month now as that’s what I’d make for an entire year as a resident. Expenses Fairly standard month for us, we booked a vacation for the fall on our credit card …
February Total Income: Busy month of work and shifts. My telemedicine gig is going really well and I’m making good money from it. Hope that can continue because its allowing me to drop some of my clinical shifts. But as I know from experience, a lot of the telemed gigs can go belly up quick …

October Total Income: We had a few small trips planned this month however they ended up getting cancelled due to weather (IE Florida hurricanes) thus we both ended up picking up a few more shifts.

September Total Income: My income is down a little bit this month as we took a vacation for a week thus worked a few less shifts. Otherwise nothing major to write about this month regarding income.
