The Sunday Best (10/02/2022)

The_Sunday_Best_2021

The Sunday Best is a collection of articles I’ve curated from the furthest reaches of the internet for your reading pleasure.

Every week, I scan hundreds of headlines, read dozens of posts, and bring you the best of the best to save you time and mental energy.

Financial Independence (FI) is a primary focus, but it’s an awfully broad topic. I tend to approach FI and early retirement from a fatFIRE perspective and through the lens of a physician, so expect to see those biases in the selected articles.

Related topics that have become recurrent themes include early retirement, selective frugality, tax issues, travel, physician issues, and of course, investing.

For more great articles, take a peek at The Sunday Best Archives. Now let’s get to the best… The Sunday Best!

Hurricane Heartache

 

My heart goes out to all who are faced with rebuilding their homes and lives after the devastation that Hurricane Ian has left behind. As a three-year Florida resident as a “Gator sedator” and frequent visitor, I have a strong connection to the state, and it was painful to see the images.

Sadly, Ian wasn’t done when he ventured out into the Atlantic, and now our friends in the Carolinas have a mess on their hands, as well.

If you’ve been impacted by the hurricane, please do what you can to stay dry and stay safe. For those looking for ways to help, here’s a list compiled by USA Today.

 

What is a Self-Determined Physician?

 

A Self-Determined Physician is a doctor who has complete autonomy over both life and career… but first you have to create financial freedom and balance so that you say “Hell Yes” to what matters most to you (and say no to everything else!).

To learn how to create that freedom, make sure to sign up for the three-day live event, The Rise of The Self-Determined Physician, where we will discuss:

So Long, Summer

 

Summer officially left us less than two weeks ago, but I don’t need a calendar to tell me that summer is in our rear view mirror for 2022.

Since fall commenced, I’ve taken our boat out of the water for the season, winterized its motor, brought it in to be wrapped for winter storage, and had the boat lift and dock pulled out. The kayaks need to come in, too.

I used to get up early to run before it got too hot out. Now, I fiddlefart around until it warms up at least a few degrees. It was 39 degrees when I started my long run on Thursday morning. Brrr… but the 16-miler went really well with an average pace of 8:45. I don’t think I could keep that up for another 10.2 miles, but it was a doable half-marathon-plus pace for me at this point in my training.

We’ve got a lot to look forward to this fall with two and half weeks in Europe followed by two and a half weeks at sea. Between land and sea, we’ll spend at least a little time in six countries, and our dollar should go further than it has in quite some time!

My Gophers lost their first game, and I lost a bet. I’ll be buying beers for a Purdue fan, which hurts. But hey, it’s a new day, and the Vikings are playing in London this morning. Skol Vikes!

It’s also prime time for fall beer festivals, and I volunteered at our local Sunrise Suds Tap Takeover, pouring beers into the evening and sampling a bit myself while enjoying a good variety of live music.

I hope your weekend was all you had hoped it would be. I can’t complain.

  1. Thanks for the shout-out POF. I am definitely a FatFIRE fan too. I also took away some great points from considering the other flavors and having sampled them at different times. Makes for a good decision-making framework. I am also thrilled to know that someone else uses the term “fiddlefart” besides me. I do a lot more fiddlefarting these days too.
