I could live just off the pension if necessary, even with the rentals vacant, but I could also go back to work very easily; I have a doctorate degree in a high demand field with many years of experience.This is not to say that a total disaster couldn't happen, the perfect storm, that would wipe out all of my contingency plans; economic collapse where I couldn't find a job and my other investments were wiped out, the state's inability to pay my pension, etc.

I've been listening to hours of interviews with doctors and the epidemiologist expert at Johns Hopkins.

@Benjamin Small @Rick Doctor @Jose Pomales @Kendra HatenJust confirming if you can all make it.

Heck,  I take leftover penicillin to avoid paying a doctor when I think I have strep throat - the risk is pretty low and I save some cash.

Both my parents are doctors which means I was blessed financially growing up.

He told me "having an attorney or any professional counsel (accountant, CPA, etc) is like going to the doctor each year for a check up.

It'd be great for you to have a checkup,  think about it as a financial doctor, to make sure you have all the needed legal documents, tax planning strategies, estate planning and education planning!   

., a doctor with $1m in the bank making .5% will be happy to buy a $500k house in cash that throws off 4%.   

Suppose, two doctors marry each other and both have the exact same education and both work at a hospital.

If it is not a joke, I suggest you have your doctor prescribe Risperdal or maybe landlords need to pass an IQ test because some of the questions I see on this forum are not sourced from common sense or an IQ above 50.
