College is already paid for. Im hoping it’s enough.


That's an odd mix of assets.. High value real estate and art given your total net worth!


Please tell us more about the art!

A lot of doctors I know want to retire


Whereas a lot of law firm partners try to hang on doing as little work as possible for as long as possible.
