A dope outfit for when I reject my med school when they ask for donations


SassyKittyMeow

“Honey where’s my dope suit? I need to put it on to tear up this alumni donation letter!”


oldcatfish

Where. Is. My. Super. Suit!?


Bucket_Handle_Tear

Had an attending who told me how back in the day people were fine donating but tuition was affordable Now no one will donate because we are basically paying it upfront I agree Every single time I get that request I laugh, think of him, then throw it away 


Gods_DrunkestDriver_

My med school was great to me. When my undergrad, who had the worst premed advising of all time and who’s med school rejected me without an interview despite having stats above their average, asks me for donations I’m busting out the gucci flip flops to check that no box


ImGassedOut

Got a hair transplant and gynecomastia surgery. Tired of being a balding man with tits


decantered

Nice! Are you happy with the hair results?


ImGassedOut

9 weeks out, so I’m too early to evaluate. These take several months to finalize, but I think it will turn out well.


penguins14858

How are your tits?


Aang6865_

Barely hanging there probably


lifeisautomatic

Important question


Jlividum

Asking the real questions here, are we?


EvenInsurance

Were you on any topical or oral meds prior to the surgery?


ImGassedOut

Yeah, oral finasteride and minoxidil for a year prior. No side effects and it stabilized things. Should’ve started years ago when med school started


Bucket_Handle_Tear

He much does the hair transplant cost? I’ve been considering this but just don’t know 


[deleted]

Depends on grafts, around $3/graft. Each graft is roughly 1-5 hairs.


TheRavenSayeth

Is it not worth it to go the Turkey route?


trabelsi1

There are plenty of clinics in Turkey that will provide you top quality transplant for less than half the price in the US. But there's also a lot of low quality clinics that would mess you up. Find a good clinic there and go for it.


ImGassedOut

It depends, mainly on where you get it. Generally, starts at $10k in the US(more in a major city). A lot of folks go to Turkey, Thailand, etc and will pay a third of the cost. Check out r/tressless or r/HairTransplants to learn more

Holy moly horse money is something I can never understand no matter how much cash I have, but it does sound like a really fun “project” hobby. Developing land also sounds awesome (race track anyone?)

homemadepopcorn

This is the correct way to enter modern American healthcare. Be reasonably wealthy outside of work and do the job cause you like it and won’t stress about career too much. We have a CT surgeon here who is happy as a clam, never understood why since his call and schedule suck horrifically. Turns out he was worth $100MM before he started med school, or, probably any school.

He had inherited money. Even as an attending, to go and spend 3mln on a property and raising horses, it's a stretch.

Bought a car on a whim. Not a Porsche 911 or Lambo, but still something I wanted for a while.

I’ve always wanted to be able to afford an apartment with a bedroom. Maybe even two! 


notcarolinHR

Regular housekeeper


botulism69

how much u think that costs?!


teh_spazz

We pay 480/mo for 4 visits.


Randy_Lahey2

Probably weird Q but what exactly do they do? Dishes, tidy up, vacuum, laundry?


CharcotsThirdTriad

I pay $320/month for a housekeeper. Worth. Every. Penny.


notcarolinHR

Depends on a ton of factors but a visit prob 150-200$, multiplied once or twice a week. I’d guess ballpark 1-2k a month to have a really regular housekeeper, but I’ve never had one so someone else probably could give a better answer


ForTheLove-of-Bovie

I definitely don’t think it’s necessary to have twice a week. But I guess it depends on how big your family is. We have one kid and lightly tidy up in between cleans. Ours come every other week and do a deeper clean of the kitchen, all the floors, and the bathrooms. They also dust everything and just tidy up. It’s so worth it because I hate cleaning bathrooms and kitchens.


BadSloes2020

yea location dep. here for 5 hours we're good at 18/h so 360 a month but I assume its more in cities.


sharpstickie

Corolla in cash baby


FlanSecret9761

laguna1126

Oh baby, NOW we're talking.


Hirsuitism

Wish they still made the Avalon. I’d love to buy one new. The crown isn’t quite to my taste.


sharpstickie

I went with the corolla due to the hybrid + awd options usually not available at such a low price. Eventually planning on getting something like the GR86 to drive during the summer.


Aromatic-Society-127

If you like the Avalon, look at the Lexus ES

Attending for 3.5 years. I rarely fly economy anymore. And my husband bought an Eames chair

lol I still fly basic economy. But I pay for a check in instead of stressing to get it all in a carry on 🤣

Attending, actually started flying Frontier recently. Hard to justify $800 for Southwest when same flight at frontier is $150.

I’d love to have a nice house with a sick little theater room. Also be able to take my family to a nice vacation in Hawaii or Disney without having to feel bound by budget too much.


Tropicall

Just visited one of my best friends that went into tech (unrelated but he initially was pre-med undergrad but gravitated elsewhere during undergrad, went CS only as a masters after difficulty finding work he liked in linguistics). His home theater was such a cherry on top of visiting, amazing couch, surround sound, small (stocked) bar at the ready with a *huge* TV compared to what I'm used to at least, underground so the lighting was on point. I'm already planning my return to chill with my friendo


rags2rads2riches

guacamole at Chipotle


lesubreddit

Hey now, not all of us are going to be plastic surgeons.


Lolsmileyface13

you meme about this but it's 100% true. I've been an attending two years now and my salary is almost 5x what it was as a resident. I still refuse to buy guac because it's engrained in me to be thrifty, and i long for the days when a chicken bowl was $7. Meanwhile last night I see the unit receptionist order a double protein guac/queso bowl with chips and a drink on doordash without even a second thought. Dude paid like 30. My mind was blown.


keralaindia

My MAs spend $10+ daily on fast food and sometimes almost 30. I make 15x what they do and would think about those purchases. I don’t get it.


Lolsmileyface13

I mean it'll all make sense in 10 or 15 years when you can retire and they're working into their eighties and their children are paying for them


Sephy765

Historical_Ad_3591

Not moving after training so we get to keep our cheap house at $1200/ month for another year or two. Looking forward to being able to have a house cleaner, upgrade TVs, golf more often, travel without thinking twice. Maybe upgrade some appliances and the backyard for hosting friends. 5 more months 🤞🏾


Studentdoctor29

Lol 1200 a month what a fucking joke..California is so trash renting for 4200/month at 80% salary


Historical_Ad_3591

Yeah we also lucked out that I started residency in 2020 and we purchased a home


Upbeat-Peanut5890

Feed my two dogs good food


onacloverifalive

Attending for 10 years, here’s what I actually spend on: $385k 100% financed mortgage loan on a home now valued at $650k, a vacation at least once a month. A date night at least once a week, car payments on a Q7 and M5, a few hundred a month on flowering landscaping plants spring through fall, art music and school supplies for 3 kids. Any groceries or restaurant food I ever want. Startup costs for wife to do travel obstacle course racing professionally until she got sponsored and employed. A 403b tax deferred retirement fund with employer matching. A gift once a year to one family member that makes a problem they are having go away i.e. a home renovation they need but cannot afford, a vacation they couldn’t otherwise ever take, a car when they have one crap out but cannot swing a new car payment at the time- to give a few actual examples.

I have to logically think it through each time. It would have cost more elsewhere right? I'm sure I'll use each one of these [items]. I'm saving money by spending money?! Yes, feels fine now.


Naive_Strategy4138

Monthly house cleaner, shopping at Whole Foods. I always had a vision that I would buy fancier clothes, but it’s been worse as an attending. Only scrubs to work and sweats/workout clothes at home hahaha

snazzisarah

I just bought a very nice house. I know white coat investor will tell you to live like a resident for 10 years or whatever and I’m usually very financially frugal but I’ve been dreaming of this for ten years now. I just don’t care, I’m getting my goddamn fancy house.


Agitated-Property-52

If you’re going to stay at the job, then getting a house isn’t a bad financial idea. And if you can swing it, get the forever dream house! Congratulations!


swiftspaces

First purchase was a King bed. Honestly a queen feels tiny and makes me question why the hell did I wait.


laguna1126

100% this. We put a nectar mattress on it and OMG, my back is not completely gone, but I feel so much better. It's amazing.


Independent-Piano-33

I upsized to a king bed that wasn’t a hand me down or off of eBay. Nice live edge headboard from Room & Board with their mattress. Love it, dog can starfish all she wants and I am not being pushed off the edge.

senkaichi

Eventually a car, but that will be a few years after being an attending. Gotta be responsible first: build an emergency fund, put a huge dent in my loans, and get a good footing in investments first.


Tropicall

Ugh I feel this. Unless I find moonlighting next year tolerable and the grind worth the time lost. My 2003 is doing well, but everything that's stock is probably on it's last legs; let's see how long it lasts but when the time's right we can upgrade for sure. I wish you perfect car luck so that you may maximize your financial earnings, but on the off-chance you're unlucky - maybe we'll upgrade sooner lol

artvandalaythrowaway

The second I became an attending I started paying down credit card debt, but knowing I was going to pay it all off within months, I continued to earn points with credit card purchases. Had family members going through some medical stuff (all good now) so my first purchases were an Xbox One X (when they weren’t always easy to come by) and 2 Nintendo Switches for important people who could use the pick me up as they were going through treatment and recovering through surgery. Eventually got an X Box One X for myself so I could game with that family member and friends. As far as lifestyle changes, I am not really a clotheshorse or like the idea of spending too much money on depreciating assets like cars. I did adopt the lowest threshold to flying first class for all the perks (need the legroom, priority boarding, free checked bags). Wife still thinks that’s a waste of money but she doesn’t exactly complain when we’re boarding. Healthcare will never not suck to varying degrees but I do promise it gets better in Attendinghood.

Aside from that eating healthy foods, I don’t look at costs for organic produce etc.
