Some of personal finance is about numbers and strategies. Much of it, however, has to do with mindset. I read lots of articles about personal finance, and only remember to save some of them. I thought it was time (or past time) to share: here are a few that struck my fancy.

Monday Melange, Money Matters Math
I have been saving a number of blog posts that caught my eye, and I think it might be time to share them. Saving blog posts without sharing seems to me like saving yummy leftovers in the fridge but never eating them–the saved item loses much of its value.
I read lots of articles about personal finance, and only save some of them; mostly it depends on how organized I am when I read them. Here are a few of my favorites, though there were so many I will probably have another round up soon.

Two years ago on October 1, 2018, I posted my first “real” blog post, about my Roth IRA from residency, and last year I celebrated my first blogiversary.
After another trip around the sun, dodging coronavirus and a big C diagnosis in the family, I thought I would take the time to reflect on my progress with the blog.

I have been saving a number of blog posts that caught my eye, and I think it might be time to share them. Saving without sharing seems to me to be losing some of their virtue–sort of like saving yummy leftovers in the fridge but never eating them.
The links below were inspired by the events of this summer as regards systemic racism. Most are focused on highlighting financial blogs and podcasts by Black content creators. One meant to straight up educate others on what systemic racism is for those who don’t suffer under it. One offers some inspiration on how FI can help make the world a better place for all.

Today my interview over at PracticeBalance is going up. Feel free to go check it out if you want to know more about me and how I try to maintain some balance in my life.
If you have arrived here after reading my interview with Dr. Dawn Baker, welcome to the blog. Most things related to life balance will probably be found in my Future Me posts or Fitness Logs, but maybe you will find something else that piques your interest. Feel free to poke around and drop a note if you want to say hi.

The Second 100 Blog Posts
I am surprised and thrilled that I just finished by 200th post this week.
It feels a little narcissistic to go over them all, but what else is this blog but a place for me to write what I like, and hope someone else finds it helpful and/or entertaining?
And with that, here we go….

This is the time of year when people make resolutions for the next year. Usually there is talk of losing weight, saving more, getting ahead.
Before I consider resolutions (or plans) for 2020, I would like to look back at 2019, and think about accomplishments I can point to with pride. I find it is healthier for me to concentrate periodically on things that have gone well, rather than always pointing out what needs to improve.

I suspect I may drag out the end of the year with a few reviews. But today I wanted to reflect on my blogging here at Physician in Numbers.
I passed my 1 year anniversary in the fall, but 2019 is the first year I blogged the whole calendar year. I have a few accomplishments to celebrate, and some reflections.

Alas, I am not announcing that I am slowing down at work to focus on the blog. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

One year ago on October 1, I posted my first “real” blog post, about my Roth IRA from residency, and just kept going. I’m excited to have managed a whole year of blogging, three posts a week, with just a few gaps.
I wasn’t sure quite what to expect after one year, but I would say I am pretty excited about how things have turned out so far.
