Good habits create good results, and bad habits create bad results. The good news is, habits are learned. You were not born … Read more
Aunt Etta And I in Greece. This is a controversial topic that I believe has no controversy for the high-income earner. Beginning to take your Social Security payments before your designated full-retirement age—for me that’s 67—will result in a lower monthly payment. Waiting until later, such as at age 70, will increase your monthly payments, … Read more
I officially left clinical medicine on February 20, 2017. Some people call it retirement, others call it a job change, I call it repurposing. Now I’m following a new mission; teaching personal finance and lifestyle balance to high income professionals through books, one-on-one coaching and speaking. I enjoy saving/changing lives in a new way now. … Read more

MGM Disney Kids watch our every move. Who hasn’t seen a young boy who imitates what his dad does. Even to the point of standing, just like dad, leaning up against a railing with his legs crossed, and a piece of straw hanging out of his mouth. They hear what we say at home and … Read more
In February 2017, I saw my last patient and left clinical medicine. Most people would say I retired. I have chosen to say I have repurposed. I no longer see patients, but I still work. I am writing the Doctors Guide series of books, keeping up a blog and working with physicians who need help … Read more
It’s amazing how frequently I cross paths with doctors who have never taken the time to actually assess where they stand financially. They tend to fall in a few categories; they never thought of it, they don’t want to know, or they feel they just don‘t have the time. When I work one-on-one with doctors … Read more
Cruising with Paul and Becky. Vacationing tends to be a very expensive item in a doctor’s spending plan. We work very hard and our time off is precious.
