I left the partnership track at my job. It hurts a little bit, but honestly, it mostly feels freeing. Perhaps, long term, I would have come out ahead in the partner track and it was a huge mistake. But my job posted 1099 independent contractor positions that were paying significantly more than my current pre-partner …
Another busy month settling into our new home, the market has been on fire and have seen some serious gains this year, particularly because I am still mainly in growth stocks which got clobbered last year. First lets look at net worth for the year. I added in my student loans, mortgage, home equity hence …
We are finally in our new house!!! After several months of delay, we finally moved into our dream home. We have spent a lot of time unpacking, setting up as well as a spending a lot of money furnishing it. It is honestly a bit difficult for me to keep track as so much money …
Hey all, another busy month of work, involved 20 busy shifts in the emergency department as well almost a full week of vacation as my family was visiting. A major downside of shift work/emergency medicine is you don’t really get vacation. We are contracted for the same number of shifts each month, a vacation week …
February was another busy month of work but overall everything is going well. I’m having trouble keeping a simple budget as we continue to have several large one time expenses as we plan to move into our house something this month (March 2023!). I finally bought H+R Block and plugged in my taxes and oh …
Well we have officially moved to Florida and I’ve started my new job and hoping to close on our house in the next month or so. Lots of big bills and expenses were due this month. I spent more money this month than I have in my life for sure. Thankfully many of these are …
Well 2022 has come and gone. There were many highs and lows and was definitely a year of transition. We decided to sell our house, quit our jobs, move across the country, build our dream home on the water and had a son. It was definitely a great year for income and a terrible year …
2023 will be one of major transition for my family and I. We are moving to a new state, starting new jobs, building a new home and have a new baby. I’m excited and anxious for the future. I wonder what I will look back on in this post in one, five and ten years …
Another solid month of paying down debt and investing. We made a property tax payment so my credit card bill was a bit bigger this month. I would like to eventually break down my expenses into a budget/categories but with building a house and being in transition, our expenses are so variable, I will probably …
Here is a spending update for this month. Thankfully was a low spending month for us, I was working a lot of extra shifts which means little time for play and spending. I’m upping my federal tax contributions so my paychecks were down a bit. I need to make sure I hit the safe harbor …
