2 Docs No Nanny. #479
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!Nearly 50,000 people watched our co-parenting reel and asked the same question: "Why don't you just get a nanny?"People expected us to have full-time help. We don't. Not because we can't afford it. Because we made a different choice.In this episode, Nii and Renee pull back the curtain on the real systems, the real schedule, and the real financial trade-offs behind running a two-physician household with two boys — without a nanny.You’ll hear:→ Why Renee refuses to hire a nanny (4 specific reasons)→ The Sunday Night Meeting — how we plan every week before it starts→ The Primary Parent Rule — the core rule that keeps our household from falling apart→ Our calendar system — how Nii builds his locums schedule around Renee's call→ The Date Night Rule — the one non-negotiable that protects our marriage→ Why our boys know the plan (and why it matters)→ The REAL financial cost of this choice (Forbes data + our honest numbers)→ Our one-income philosophy — if we can't build wealth on one physician income, we're doing it wrong→ What we sacrifice. What we refuse to sacrifice.If you're a first-generation doctor in your family, this is your community.Find us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@docsoutsidetheboxpodcastMentioned in this episode: https://www.forbes.com/sites/christinecarter/2025/02/11/motherhoods-price-tag-the-financial-reality-of-working-vs-leaving/ FREE DOWNLOAD: Download the First-Gen Doctor Blueprint — everything we wish someone had told us about finances, career planning, and building a life in medicine.
