I'm a pgy 1, I spent a fair amount on electronics and joining professional organizations. Got a little left over this year... and not sure what to get. And what about the following years?

What do you recommend, whether books? Classes? Lectures? Certifications? Anything fun and exciting? 😉
 
A friend of mine managed to save up enough in her 4 years of medical school for a trip after graduation (and before intern year).

When I asked her how the heck that was possible she said that she went to Bali with friends -- which Bali is supposedly really cheap.

The best things you can do with that money to buy some books. Because this will help your to pass your leisure time and you could learn a lot of things by reading different kind of books.

That sounds like a rather unusual situation.
 
^this. Save it in an "oh ****" account -- e.g. "Oh ****, how am I going to pay for step 2 AND have enough money to eat?"

Good luck!

I think the OP is referring to the educational stipend you get in residency ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I mean, they could have been truly spendy and gone to Gstaad.
Or they could go a bit further north to Sweden, and give us all a first hand account of "uppgivenhetssyndrom". That would be educational!
