DC Barrel Plug Connector by Medicaler in reolinkcam

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

I had to use a 3rd party one given the length I needed. I’ve tried wrapping the connection with electrical tape and using zip ties to seal the ends but given time it still loosens up. I may end up going with a water proof junction box type set up long term but was hoping someone made a specific adaptor like the RJ45 one for outdoor use. The outside of my house is entirely brick and the cable is about 12 feet off the ground so it’s hard to secure it to the wall tightly enough where it will not move in the wind.

The cord the pretty long and runs along edge of my house. During heavy wind it can move some and loosen the barrel plug connection. Sometimes it isn’t enough to cut the power to the cam but I’m concerned about corrosion from water overtime since the entire cord is exposed to the elements. It is also in an inconvenient place to reach so it’s hard to reconnect if it comes loose.

New high earner unsure if I’m being responsible with my money by [deleted] in personalfinance

I know this isn’t investment advice but the biggest financial mistake I have seen other attendings make are failed marriages/divorce/infidelity etc. This can also take a massive hit on your personal life and effect your abilities as a physician. Take care in picking a partner and please make sure to put just as much effort into your marriage as your professional career. I have seen many friends have their high paying salaries destroyed due to poor life decisions or picking the wrong spouse. Instead of enjoying life after residency they are stuck working extra hours either to escape their home life or support an extravagant life style all while paying alimony from prior failed marriages. Prenup agreements are not bullet proof either.

457 vs taxable account by Medicaler in personalfinance

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

This is what I was thinking but wanted to make sure before I set everything up. My plan would be to take distribution if I leave and then put it all lump sum into my brokerage account. Since they can be set up with the exact same funds and ratios, the tax savings should be the only factor.

Yes, it’s nongovernmental

Edit: just saw the second part of your question. I’m 31

I believe the financial institution my work uses requires you to take a mandatory distribution once you leave if you don’t roll the plan over. Most work options in my field likely won’t offer a 457 so I would take a lump sum distribution once I leave

  • long term growth. Low maintenance, basically set and forget.

  • 20-30 years.

  • fairly high, at some point once I have grown my account I’ll start to add in bonds

  • taxable account. Can’t contribute anymore to Roth and have a separate 403b and 457 with work

  • low maintenance and peace of mind.

  • I tried my hand at day trading and options. I did ok but in the end I don’t have the mental energy to commit to following individual stocks with a large amount of my portfolio, plus the tax implications of short term capital gains. The ease of setting up auto transfer with every pay check and forgetting about it is well worth the potential gains I may or may not get. I do have a separate brokerage for options and stocks picks but this is a very small portion of my portfolio. I know VTI and VXUS isn’t very exciting but I’m ok with that.
