@kami_beis: How much I make & spend as a first-year general surgery resident in New Jersey 💰🙈 I feel like this gives a pretty good look into where the money actually goes during residency. You’d think working 60–80+ hours a week would mean I don’t have much time to spend money… and you’d be right 😂 But living right outside NYC is EXPENSIVE, so a huge portion of my paycheck goes straight toward fixed expenses—rent, bills, transportation, groceries, etc. 🫠 Definitely not financial advice, just a realistic look at what my income and spending look like as a PGY-1 general surgery resident! 🩺💸 #doctor #generalsurgery #womeninmedicine #residencylife #surgeon
