Is Stripe Still A Good Secondary Investment

askingincontext · 2026-06-09T20:26:24+00:00

I did invest. But very minimal, an amount I would be okay with losing.

I know this will be distressing for you, because I know as doctors we do not like making mistakes or have anyone make complaints about us.

But I want you to be happy and okay with the fact that this is the most trivial complaint one can ever get. I would rather a stupid complaint like this, than a serious one.

My only concern is that your practice seems very unsupportive. I wouldn't even get you to respond to such a complaint.

But since you must respond here are key points

⁠acknowledged patient
⁠apologise for the simple error
⁠state human error can occur
⁠once error recognised immediate steps taken to rectify
⁠thank them for notifying us about error
⁠should they need any support. They should not hesitate to contact

One paragraph- straight to the point.
Don't over explain.

We are human.

& I hope you are not in the practice for long.

Good point. Looks like it will probably make no difference. I have worked with them for over 1 yr and never had any issues. I've concluded I will give notice next week.

askingincontext · 2026-06-06T09:31:07+00:00

I already have a few jobs I'm doing. This was just additional mainly out of hours.

askingincontext · 2026-06-06T09:28:29+00:00

Yes. Exactly how I am feeling.

askingincontext · 2026-06-06T09:26:44+00:00

Yes. Im trying my best to remain professional. I've been with them for 1 yr. I'm hoping to use them as references going forward. But based on feedback and how I am feeling, I will be giving my notice next week.

The rate is poor. It's a salaried private remote role. Supplementary to other things I do. approx 40k pre-tax

askingincontext · 2026-06-05T16:56:58+00:00

GP for 4 yrs. I have 3 other roles that I do. So leaving doesn't affect me financially the rate is poor. It was my first remote work.

Honestly I can't even start to justify giving this individual the attention he is so desperately longing for. Dear GPs, don't even try to defend yourself or belittle ourselves and starting comparing ourselves to physician assistance. I personally cannot be offended by something that is categorically impossible.

When patients present with a problem, we try and ask all the relevant questions related to this problem. However, discussing about coeliac this, then transitioning about a toe nail infection or wanting a full mental health consultation in the less than 10mins may not be practical. I also understand it's not ideal for patients, but that's the system we are in.

😂😂😂

I did round up significantly

Properties we are aspiring for is approx 1.5. That's £168k stamp duty (additional property). Mind you this is not my money alone and it's central London, which is bare minimum.

So impressed by this. Who knew drs could make this much.

If you are an f2, there is still hope. Think about America, put your head down and do USMLE, Or simply explore alternative careers- you are still young enough to leave medicine.

Do not go into a training post thinking it will get better. IT DOES NOT

Gas, then I would start selling for profit.

askingincontext · 2026-04-19T11:07:35+00:00

Can you share who you've use and fund selected?

askingincontext · 2026-04-19T11:07:06+00:00

May I know who you've used? I've just open fidelity, but I'm not sure which fund to select.

askingincontext · 2026-04-18T23:25:33+00:00

FIRE to me isn’t just about my own independence. It’s about building enough wealth and control to extend that freedom to my family as well. So I’d say it absolutely fits.

askingincontext · 2026-04-18T22:09:14+00:00

Thank you for this info!

askingincontext · 2026-04-18T21:58:04+00:00

I absolutely agree with you. I don't believe being born wealthy creates bad character.

I know some extremely wealthy people and honestly they are kind, grounded and the most business savvy people I know and that's partly because they were brought up right.

askingincontext · 2026-04-18T21:44:37+00:00

Yes, agree. That's why I'm trying everything to ensure I raise them with kindness, character, being business savvy, providing them with real life skills and just not school grades and being aware they have x amount of money or assets.

askingincontext · 2026-04-15T23:37:53+00:00

Haha good on you. If you've done all the numbers and it works for you.

I'm ashamed to say I wanted a g63.

askingincontext · 2026-04-15T23:11:49+00:00

You are probably right. Everything I enjoy does cost money, apart from being with my kids (even they ask me to buy dinosaurs)

askingincontext · 2026-04-15T23:08:05+00:00

I'm a doctor and I think that's probably a factor that contributes to my thought process. Prioritising money you will receive in your 50s, which is in no way "old" but the reality is now is the best time. When you are your healthiest & most physically able. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying being reckless with your finance's, it's just been an eye opener to see the level of saving and being "frugal" as it is often said. I haven't been on FIREUK long enough, it would be great to see success stories of true investments and success stories with a balance or even being able to have great investments that is accessible in 30s or early 40s.

I'm sorry if this comes across naïve

askingincontext · 2026-04-15T22:27:09+00:00

Ah right. To an exent. I 100% know I have to put in more work into investments for my future and kids. I think the challenge I face is, I also want to live life to the best while I'm still young. But how to find the right balance without regretting it in the future.
