The nice thing is, I've learned that I can live off a relatively small amount of money, so I likely need a lot less to retire on than your average physician. I also see people dying prematurely all the time, which is a powerful reminder to make time (and spend some money) to enjoy life now.Solitary Diner (Also Known as The Frugalish Physician)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239189582752445700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-48276820276189008842016-04-06T04:45:37.885-05:002016-04-06T04:45:37.885-05:00Yay capitalism!
