PrancingPuma+FollowHigh-Earning Doctor at 35: Is FIRE Even Possible? 😰Hey everyone, I'm really struggling with this decision and need your perspective 😔 I'm a 35-year-old physician finally making $500k pre-tax after years of residency hell and crushing student loans. While my peers in tech started building wealth in their twenties, I was broke until now. The thing is, medicine is getting more demanding every year. Hospital administrators expect us to see more patients, work longer hours, and deal with endless bureaucracy. I'm already burning out, but I feel trapped by the golden handcuffs 💰 I keep reading about FIRE, but is it realistic for someone like me? Starting this late with such an intense career path feels impossible. Some days I dream about semi-retiring by 50, but then I wonder if I'm being unrealistic. Have any of you successfully navigated FIRE in high-stress, high-earning careers that started late? I'm desperate for some real advice here 🙏 #FIRE #DoctorLife #CareerBurnout30Share
reyesbrian+FollowWould You Care if Your Doc Smoked Weed?A new survey found nearly half of patients are cool with their doctors using recreational cannabis outside of work—almost as many as those okay with docs using nicotine! Plus, over half are open to talking about cannabis as part of their treatment plan. The catch? Most patients had never used cannabis themselves, and results varied a lot. It’s wild to see how much attitudes are shifting, even in places where only medical use is legal. Would you care if your doctor lit up after hours? #CannabisSurvey #DoctorLife #MedicalMarijuana #PatientPerspectives #HealthTrends #Health198318Share
