September Total Income: September was my last month working “full time” in emergency medicine. I am still planning to work about half time (IE: around 8 shifts a month) in the emergency department and then will be supplementing with some telemedicine work. This will likely drop my income a bit, but I think we are …
August Total Income: August kept us busy, still working a full schedule of shifts, I didn’t have a lot of time to do telemedicine in July thus my income from that is down otherwise standard month for us as far as our income. Expenses Nothing major this month, still make minimum payments on our mortgage …
July Total Income: July was a good month (its my birthday month!). Still ended up working a lot of shifts but had a little mini vacation for my birthday and overall was good. July will be my last month of working “extra” EM shifts as I make a transition to more part-time/PRN work. I am …

April Total Income: Busy month, this was my highest income month ever, making over 56k, mainly thanks to continued solid telemedicine income. I also worked 17 shifts in the ED, it is just not sustainable in the long run with trying to also balance my family life at home. I feel I’m financially getting to …
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 …
January Total Income: We had a great start to the year. My wife got paid three times in January and she is aggressively funding her retirement accounts to start the year. I had a solid month, busy with shifts, I am doing more telemedicine and providing a surprisingly high income which I’m happy with for …
