Your first CRNA paycheck hits your account, and for about 30 seconds you feel like the richest person you know. Then the student loans, rent, and car payment come calling. Nobody teaches you what to do next. Until now.
In this episode, Leland Murren, CRNA, lays out the First Paycheck Protocol: a 10-step order of operations that tells you where each dollar goes, and in what order, before you spend it. It's built for the CRNA pay landscape, not generic money advice. The sequence works whether you're a new grad, an SRNA close to graduation, or years into practice and ready to reset.
In this episode:
- Gross vs. net: why a $250K salary doesn't mean $20K a month
- W-2 vs. 1099: the tax set-aside every independent contractor needs from day one
- The 30-day rule: why doing nothing is your best first move
- The 10-step prioritization ladder, from overhead and emergency funds to employer match, high-interest debt, the big 3 tax-advantaged accounts (401(k), IRA, HSA), bridge accounts, and generational wealth
- The lifestyle inflation trap, and why the comparison problem is worse in anesthesia
- The Moneymoon: the 1–5 year window that sets your financial trajectory for life - Why a guilt-free spending line keeps the whole plan sustainable Your first paycheck isn't a finish line. It's a starting pistol.
