STOP Obsessing Over Pensions — This Is How Kaiser Nurses Actually Get Rich

Hi there nurse,

A few weeks ago, I posted a video comparing Kaiser and UC Davis pensions

I thought I had it all figured out…

UC Davis had the better pension on paper, but Kaiser paid a higher salary. Simple enough, right?

Well… turns out I missed something big.

The Comment That Changed Everything

One of my former coworkers, Jake, left a comment that stopped me in my tracks:

If the Kaiser nurse took that extra $54K salary and invested it… wouldn’t they come out way ahead?

That got me thinking — so I ran the numbers.

And let me tell you… the results were NOT what I expected.

👉 Kaiser’s pension is smaller — but when you see what happens when that salary difference is invested… it’s not even close.

It’s not just about salary versus pension — there’s a hidden factor that most nurses completely overlook. And it’s the reason why the Kaiser nurse could retire with more money than both the UC Davis and UCSF nurses combined.

I break it all down step-by-step in the video — including the final numbers that left me shocked.

💥 Why Most Nurses Miss This Opportunity

Most nurses focus on the pension because it feels like guaranteed money. And it is — but there’s a catch.

When you’re making $80K to $100K more per year — and you know how to use that money strategically — the pension becomes secondary.

The Kaiser nurse could end up with over 6 figures in annual investment income — on top of their pension — just by making one smart financial move.

But most people don’t think about it that way. That extra income usually just disappears into lifestyle creep — bigger house, nicer car, more vacations. We’ve been there.

That’s why this matters.

👉 The Kaiser nurse who invests that extra income? Game over.
