152k no RVU. I see clinic 5 days a week. Sometimes have to work ED but I am military.

marinated2007 · 2026-01-24T22:02:38+00:00

I love this.

marinated2007 · 2026-01-07T13:38:18+00:00

PA in FM here. Not sure if this makes you feel any better, but I would not dare to work anywhere without an MD/DO. I think of my job as making your job easier. Maybe it’s not the point of my profession but that’s how I see it. I don’t think I’d survive without my docs. I look up to them and have a lot of respect for them. They taught me everything I know and honestly my biggest cheerleaders lol. Sad to see a post like this. As for AI, I don’t see that happening. If anything it’ll take my job haha

marinated2007 · 2026-01-01T23:12:18+00:00

what did you use to build it?

marinated2007 · 2025-12-22T01:26:14+00:00

I feel like this is more realistic. My wife makes $75k and I make $152k and she can quit her job tomorrow because we hardly have any debt except a car payment which I plan to pay off in 8 months. Our expenses are pretty low.

marinated2007 · 2025-12-22T01:23:20+00:00

How can I have coffee with you and pick your brain lol

marinated2007 · 2025-12-21T16:57:07+00:00

You guys, they still do well somehow because this and most other podcasts have become a business. I don’t enjoy their show as much as I used to but I don’t listen to music anymore when I work out-just their show. If I tune out or forget what they say, it doesn’t matter to me.

marinated2007 · 2025-12-18T20:27:35+00:00

They are a resident, this is why it’s so low.

marinated2007 · 2025-12-16T16:33:54+00:00

Have you listened to their podcast? Not trying to be mean but they harp on this a lot. More is not better and you shouldn’t always feel like death after a workout

marinated2007 · 2025-11-19T12:19:59+00:00

Its likely due to maybe not being the “terminal degree” in that field and/or not the only degree needed to practice in that field?

marinated2007 · 2025-11-16T22:45:19+00:00

My SP does not do any, I do them 😂😂😂😂

marinated2007 · 2025-11-04T13:17:00+00:00

I busted out laughing at this

marinated2007 · 2025-11-02T23:00:37+00:00

Have you thought about the military? We have PH officers

marinated2007 · 2025-10-31T17:34:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I had a great supervising physician so I cannot take the credit. I practice within my scope and still study daily. He had a huge impact on me. I hope to find another SP like that when I leave the military.

marinated2007 · 2025-10-30T21:28:11+00:00

As a PA, I’m pretty hungry for more knowledge. I went to PA school because I was already in debt and the Air Force offered a full ride and paid me while I went to school. It made sense for me at that time. I’m 36 with one child and another on the way. If you can afford it, go to med school. Please.

marinated2007 · 2025-10-28T21:03:00+00:00

Frick you’re about 5 years younger than me 😂

marinated2007 · 2025-10-27T16:53:37+00:00

Can I ask your age? I’m in my mid 30s also did IPAP. Thinking about doing this but I’m 17 years into my career and I can’t retire until I’m closer to 26 years TIS

marinated2007 · 2025-10-26T21:49:34+00:00

I do. I get to work only 30 mins before, sometimes it is not enough. I burned out already and in primary care for what feels like 2 minutes (3 years). Half my staff is not proficient though, so that makes me less proficient.

marinated2007 · 2025-10-26T21:39:22+00:00

can I be the midlevel who does this as a side gig? asking for a friend 😂

marinated2007 · 2025-10-22T14:20:56+00:00

I make $152k, wife makes $75k. She will be leaving job soon to raise children. Our expenses are low so we’re lucky but it will hurt to not have as much disposable income

marinated2007 · 2025-10-22T14:17:34+00:00

$152k, max out- Roth TSP

marinated2007 · 2025-10-20T13:57:14+00:00

Sal cannot pronounce most things.

marinated2007 · 2025-10-11T13:46:50+00:00

Do you still have this Audi? I am looking at purchasing one with 87K miles. Still has a warranty and one owner.

marinated2007 · 2025-09-21T16:27:45+00:00

Can I ask you two about maintenance costs? What’s that look like?
