I have been keeping track of my exercise every Friday for 6 years, and plan to continue doing so.
Since the pandemic started, I have been keeping track of “firsts,” and more lately, I have been trying to note good things (“fabulousness”). It’s a good way to pay attention and not let life slide by.
I made a comment a few months year ago on a post offering financial advice to younger people on finances. The writer advised signing up for an HSA (health savings account) and I advised being careful about one.
A quick back and forth earned me the comment that I should write about my experience, so here it is.
Just to be clear: I am not saying that HSAs are bad; in fact, for many people they are great vehicles for saving (and investing!!) for the future.
I’m just saying that an HSA was a bad idea for me.
Below I will go through why the HSA and accompanying HDHP (high deductible health plan) didn’t work for me and my husband, and point out a few things to think about before deciding on the HSA route for you.

Match Day is coming up, and soon 4th year medical students will find out where they will be training for the next several years.
Best of luck to those waiting to hear the news, I hope any senior medical students reading are happy with their result.
A wish: You should look this happy opening your Match Day results.
From a financial standpoint, making the transition from a tuition-paying, negative income flow state to working (and paycheck earning) is huge.
Making better decisions during residency can really set you up for financial success as an attending.
I don’t like to imply that if you don’t get it right now, you’ll be doomed, because that isn’t true. However, you can really make your attending life easier based on habits you build earlier.

I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . Here are some of my favorite posts I read in February.

As I wrote two weeks ago, I had a meeting with my boss to discuss what my job might look like going forward. Actually, it was a pretty easy conversation, and all the changes I asked for were approved.
It’s very exciting, if a little scary, to contemplate cutting back significantly. I was able to put off thinking about it for a week, as my sister-in-law’s visit was quite a distraction. (Nothing bad, it’s just time consuming to have a house guest.)
Now I am starting to put the changes in action, talking to people at work about making those adjustments to my schedule and my paycheck.
