I second this statement as someone who was in a similar position, making similar income, who was looking to make a switch. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO MEDICINE? I thought my answer was "yes" to this. I loved shadowing in the OR and ED for 4-6 hours at a time and thought I was hooked, but those shadowing experiences are only a small picture into the actual life of a physician.

I entered a formal post-bacc program, affiliated with a MD program, just to have the privilege to apply to medical school with the required prereqs.
Being a career charger who didn't have much fulfillment in my career, I knew of the challenges of residency life and WLB.... or atleast I thought I did until I had the opportunity to shadow a 3rd Year IM resident for their entire 80 hour week in the ICU. I "noped" out so fast afterwards. I couldn't see myself doing that for 5-8 years in my late 30s and early 40s through residency and fellowship. Plus, with the BBB student loan changes which would require utilization of private loans, I couldn't fathom the debt load once I became an attending in my early 40s. (As someone who lives debt free now). Forecasting a decade ahead against the current state of healthcare, I decided to make the U-Turn.
Best advice I ever got from an EM MD was "Oh, you want to help people? Go work in a soup kitchen, not medicine". Went back to tech working in med device with a purpose and mission behind it. Much happier and fulfilled.
Your experience may vary - use mine as another data point.

No... it did not. You're... lying, and I don't know why.
First of all, your Mother was past Medicare age a couple of years ago. You do NOT owe 2M dollars, and if you did, you'd just declare bankruptcy.
Second, what insurance Policy do you have that doesn't have a maximum out-of-pocket?

Third, how would you POSSIBLY know what "most here have?" It feels like YOU have 5K and so you assume others do. I mean, it's fine, people start life from ALL different places. I had a nice head start and was taught financial literacy and ... well, my family had... money to be blunt.
Maybe that's it. The median household income in my community is over 300K a year, so that's what I grew up around. Maybe you grew up around people who didn't have 5K?'
Rural South?

Anyway, really curious why you're lying about the 2M insurance not covering your Mothers Healthcare? Was she not a legal citizen? Otherwise, it's just... not true. The MOOP...(that's maximum out of pocket) on a cheap policy is going to be 15K a year.

My Mother just got out of 54 days in the ICU. She's been very sick. But not a PENNY of it was charged to us. The procedures, everything, came to 763K. Insurance covered...763K because I'd kept track of the payments I'd made(I try and cover my parents' medical bills), and once I got to 12,500, I stopped. In fact, at 6K, I sent the Insurance company a check for 6500 and said... here, you cover the rest. And they did.

It's literally the law. So I don't know what you're talking about.

ICU

Yeah I wasnt commenting on it's returns just on how much neos are being hyped atm. As you said; SCHD was the big thing before YM and now you see posts about how it's not a prime pick anymore and some people still defending it. (Same shit u see in the ulty YM subreddit. Hate, sell posts, and holders defending it)
I bought into ulty and lost $400 on it. Not my biggest lost at all but it's just another lesson learned.
I got some NEOs b.c i do think it looks good but it's maybe 1% of my portfolio atm. People on reddit just need to be careful about investing in "the newest and greatest" that others push. You'll end up like that guy that got loans to buy ulty and irrc now is in the ICU b.c of the mental anguish

Look into ICU.

ICU bottoming out...will rebound big time

Didn't cut my losses soon enough due to revenge trading.
During Sep-Oct 2023 i've made lots of money from ICU stock, however i held it for too long after the FDA approval that happened on Feb 24, and those i had great losses and together with other stocks that i didn't sell in time, it overshadowed mine great gains and i've lost quite a lot of money.

No more revenge trading, zero emotions.
Also when i started trading during 2022, i had nVidia,AMD,MS,NFLX stock at their lowest and i didn't hold long enough...
