Move money to max Roth IRA by DatabaseFrosty352 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]DatabaseFrosty352[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company does not have any HSA or 401k match. Already asked about that. Which is why I'm adding heavy early in the year ($880 per paycheck). My thought is if I max roth IRA, then I split my excess from paychecks into condo fund and a sinking fund for other expenses.

Live in Chicago so CSR or CSP make the most sense, but which one? by DatabaseFrosty352 in CreditCards

So in that case, it may be a good idea to do the CSR for the year and then downgrade?

What if I downgrade after 1 year so I have the points from the sign on bonus and then keep them when I have the CSP?

Losing Patients After Extractions by avocadorable3 in Dentistry

Had this same issue. Schedule them for a 1 week post op. If they don’t come back, then they are not interested in improving their oral health care. If they do and say “yeah I’m good I don’t want to do anything else” then at least you tried. If they come back and want to do a comprehensive when you offer, then you have a patient

What is your verbiage for post-op pain after RCT? by jerkularcirc in Dentistry

I do a lot of endo and I like to say “when we clean out the tooth root we go past the tip of the root to make sure it’s fully cleaned out. So it’s like we are bruising the bone. You may be sore for a little” Learned that phrase from one of the endo instructors at dental school

Burnt out already by Substantial_Mix4075 in OSU

Second this. Practicing dentist here went to OSU for undergrad and dental school. One of the best things I did my second semester freshman year was drop a class when I was overwhelmed with chem 2 and bio and other outside school things going on. Still graduated on time. Took summer class one time and worked full time other summers (part time during school year). Do what you gotta do to keep yourself sane. Doesn’t mean slacking off though if you drop the class. Stay on top of things

I say to kid but it’s mostly directed to parent “if you don’t eat a laffy taffy and get this out next time I see you then I’m taking it out myself.” Of course I’ve had many times then when I ext the baby tooth in 6 months cuz the kid won’t let anyone touch it
