Hi, I am Javier, male, 43 orthopedic surgeon and currently reading Millionaire Fastlane and enjoying it, but I have a dilemma. I'm to the point in my career where I own my business and making about 100K per month and have about 1.5 million invested in stocks (what I call "my side business"). Also, there is also a thrill to being a surgeon and being able to cut on people and be able to fix them. And I also feel that I have enjoyed life, had my rockstar years so to speak and feel fullfilled in that aspect.
BUT, I do like the goal of $10,000,000 as a minimum to retire and have that freedom. There are two other things I feel very passionate about, finance/investing and coding. If I dedicated full time to those, there is potential for better than now, but not guaranteed.
So, my dilemma to get to that retirement goal is, do I leave my $100K a month job in hopes for something better in more of a fastlane venture? Or do I keep my $100K per month job and work on my limited free time (afternoons and weekends) on my coding projects and investing?
Interested to hear comments.
