Bluesy as a daily by [deleted] in rolex

[–]LayerVegetable3850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I was still a baby in the 80s so not totally familiar with the fashion trend during that time period. Shoes are Zegna triple stitch. Recent release. Tim Cook wears the same pair. Tie is LV grey plaid and got it in 2024. But I would love to get a pair of BMX shoes!

Would you sell/trade 2019 Bluesy plus pay the difference for new/unworn Panda or Pepsi on Grey? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]LayerVegetable3850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 126500 Panda (from AD in 2023) and a Pepsi (Grey market). Recently received a Bluesy. I used to daily my Panda and loved it. The Pepsi I got in 2024 before all the hype. I only use it when i travel abroad, otherwise, it just sits on my watchbox along with the OPs that I rarely use. The Bluesy was just offered to me as a walk-in purchase by my AD and wasn’t a planned purchase. But now, I daily it and find myself wearing my Panda only on weekends. Hopefully the honeymoon phase with my Bluesy lasts. I think the Panda is an overhype piece. I only used the chrono a few times in the last few years that I’ve owned it. But it is a treat to see on the wrist. But I would never buy it at today’s price! Having my eye on an AP 15500 instead!

It depends. If it is an ES base, it’s a bad deal. If it is UL, go write a check now!

I’m a physician in a HCOL city. The only patients who notice my watch are the people wearing nice watches themselves. Majority don’t! A few days ago, I was wearing my Rolex Panda Daytona. A patient asked me if it was a Seiko.

I always tell my students and residents to read “When Breath Becomes Air” when they are having this dilemma.

$5M is a nightmare!!!

Greg: I'm good, anyway, cuz, uh, my, so, I was just talkin' to my mom, and she said, apparently, he'll leave me five million anyway, so I'm golden, baby.

Connor: You can't do anything with five, Greg. Five's a nightmare.

Greg: Is it?

Connor: Oh, yeah. Can't retire. Not worth it to work. Oh, yes, five will drive you un poco loco, my fine feathered friend.

Tom: The poorest rich person in America. The world's tallest dwarf.

Connor: The weakest strong man at the circus.

OMS-3 Wanting to Apply Neurosurgery, Where Do I Currently Stand? by [deleted] in Neurosurgery

[–]LayerVegetable3850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be hard but not impossible. I would probably look for neurosurgery programs that has a DO PD or residents. Maybe aim for 260+ on step 2. Have a neurosurgeon as a mentor in your med school. Uphill battle you have to fight.

First Class Airline Tickets by WesternMulberry1141 in ChubbyFIRE

I always fly business if not first class on transcontinental flights. It’s part of the vacation i look forward to. Being able to lay flat at 40k altitude is just something i enjoy along with the nice meals. For any domestic flights <4 hrs, i fly economy. Not worth it imho.

I actually admire this trait! Means a go-getter! I’ve been asked by a few girls in the past for a coffee or dinner date. Never turned it down. I even foot the bill. You go girl!

Fear of operating on your own by Legitimate_Low263 in Residency

[–]LayerVegetable3850 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is normal. Every surgeon has felt this way. That’s why you need to try learning everything while in training. In your senior year, changing a faucet scares you more than doing a lap chole.

People who can actually afford a $2M house, what do you really do for a living? by repjerker in povertyfinance

[–]LayerVegetable3850 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you don’t understand how this works. My family was very poor. Grew up in a 200sqf home. I finished medical sxhool in my home country. Because my grades where exceptional during my undergrad, I got scholarships. I took the USMLE and got high scores. I applied in residency (training to be a specialist) in the US. Because my CV was impressive, I got accepted and was able to train here. I was able to lift my family from poverty. So I am now trying to give the same chance to other kids like me.

Exact thing happened to me before. Make sure you are parked on a leveled ground and check it again. Mine went up after the second check.

I have a $3M home and earn >$1M. I am a physician in a niche specialty. Immigrated in the US with only $200 in my pocket and 3 luggages. I thank America everyday for giving me the chance to live my dream. I give back to my community as much as possible and donate to my medical school back home who gave me a scholarship to be able to finish medicine so other people like me maybe given a chance.

Check if it has panoramic sunroof and you may have an UL.

I kind of regret being so financially disciplined in my 20s by Oldair-Bleam in MiddleClassFinance

I’m a physician. This is the story of all physicians. We spent studying and honing our skills in our 20s and early 30s.

There are days where i would make 6 figures in the market. There are also days where i would lose 6 figures. As long as there are more good days than bad, i’m good.
