Frugality inertia occurs when lifelong savers struggle to spend, even when they can afford to do so. The habit of saving feels safer than splurging, as comfort of growing net worth outweighs the enjoyment of wealth.

Up to 70% of dental procedures, including braces, may be unnecessary or cause harm. Prove me wrong.

AI could eliminate middle management in healthcare and automate tasks like scheduling, billing, and compliance. Job losses could range from 25% to 60%. New oversight roles for AI may emerge, but human empathy is in crisis (since AI offers the best of human empathy).

Trump 1.0 stands for resume virtues. Trump 2.0 represents eulogy virtues.

Trump ends the 12-day war, and the next day NYC elects a socialist. We live in a simulation.

JD Vance, Tucker Carlson, and Ted Cruz—who would you vote for?

The Cult that is the Practice of Medicine I practiced medicine for three decades before I noticed cult-like traits, such as stifling dissent, a hierarchical structure, and adherence to dogma. DEI is a more recent example. First, do no harm. Yet incentives are so perverse that they harm patient care

I thought Americans worked long hours, but we rank 9th, behind Mexico, Israel, and Canada. I also believed we only took 2 weeks off a year, so the yellow dot represents hours worked per day. What’s your guess? Eight? Ten? Nope, it’s 6 and change.

What does the world's richest man want that he cannot have? Elon and Twitter

Vance and Rubio are the only adults in the room. Sorry.

So WSJ admits that chronic diseases are causing a problem?

Hello, are there any Republican Buddhists on here?

The only thing that unites Democrats is their hatred for Trump.

41 years ago, Joe Biden ran for president (1984). Since then, the Bidens and Clintons have dominated Democratic presidential politics—Bill in '92 and Hillary in '08. Four decades is too long. It’s time to move on from the Bidens & Clintons. #PoliticalHistory

PSLF may not be technically dead, but it is certainly not the reliable financial planning tool it once seemed to be. Recent policy changes, administrative delays, and ongoing uncertainty make it a poor foundation for any physician’s debt elimination www.fiphysician.com/doctors-pslf...

What are the survival rates for an 82-year-old male with dementia now diagnosed with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer? Research suggests that survival is around 4-5 years with treatment. Therapies can extend survival, even in elderly patients. The evidence indicates that dementia

AI is now so advanced in healthcare that physicians can no longer enhance their responses. Physicians, you will soon be replaced if you do not utilize AI. No, wait. AI will replace you, even if you perform surgeries, conduct scopes, or assist with childbirth. openai.com/index/health...

Who votes in Swing States?

When will AI replace your friendly neighborhood physician? AI won’t disrupt the profession; it will replace it. Eventually, meanwhile, given the looming physician shortage, AI may help plug a few holes. I`https://www.fiphysician.com/ai-replace-physician/

Did you see the promo for this episode? It is so anti-Trump that supervision of content in new ways is obvious

How Much do China, Mexico, and Canada Own? USD, Gold, Treasuries, and U.S. Equities Our frenemy trading partners—China, Mexico, and Canada—own U.S. dollars, treasuries, and equities. How much? Who owns more of the U.S. than the others? www.fiphysician.com/frenemy-trad...

China owns: $3.25T U.S. Dollars 2,200 tonnes of gold (worth $242B) $785B of U.S. Treasuries $370-$720B of U.S. Equities (25% might be P.E) I think they sell their P.E.

I’m Short Private Equity China is selling everything U.S. Dollars. Bonds. And PE. Do you blame them? Private equity? Chinese investment in U.S. private equity is significant. Who else is selling PE right now?

The Theory of the Second Best Like every other aspect of physician life, almost perfect is good enough. Some of us strive for the optimal solution in retirement planning. But what if you cannot achieve that optimal solution and instead settle for reality? www.fiphysician.com/the-theory-o...
