LOL ... argue with yourself dumbass ... I retired at 48 because I could
and you know this Dr didn't plan to retire in 20 years and be young enough to enjoy his retirement, HOW ? Originally Posted by CJ7

We are both making guesses. But my guesses make a lot more sense.

For starters, I don't have to assume anything way out of the ordinary, like retiring at age 53 or 55. I assume that an educated man like him knows he could easily make it to age 85 and therefore outlive his money. So there is very little chance he will be retiring before age 65. I note his father practiced medicine for over 40 years, so I'm pretty sure the son will be practicing at least 30 years. The modern trend (at least among the smarter people) is to retire later not earlier, especially since everyone's 401k plans got hammered in the last 5 years. The only people NOT planning on doing that are living in France or Greece. And, boy, are they in for a surprise.

I also don't have to assume he is going to find a buyer for his unique "cash only" business. That's another long shot.

this Doc isn't interested in survival ... PERIOD . Originally Posted by CJ7

Are you a mind reader now?

In fact, what does that even mean?

Whatever that means.

The greater point is that very, very few people can retire at 48.

So using your retirement age as some kind of measuring stick for others is ridiculous.

You argue from the general rules, not the exceptions.

NOTHING about the doctor's practice indicates he is about to retire and hand it off to someone else.

He appears to be working on a simpler, more streamlined business model, like the one in Oklahoma described above in the video link posted by CaptMidnight.

So, unless you're ramping up a business, you must be winding it down? Those are the ONLY two possibilities in your world?

Just maintaining the current size and profitability is not a possibility?

And how have you concluded he will not ramp up in the future? Because is the idea works, what is to stop him from bringing other doctors into the same practice? The one in Oklahoma appears to be doing well. Why not his?

Not the end.
