Most physicians that are working full time, if they are diligent with their finances, will reach at least millionaire status by the time they retire certainly. It's really just it's slow and steady, consistent, persistent, and then patience really. Avoiding avoiding the big errors goes a long way in building wealth.
This cardiologist became a millionaire just 6 years out of training. This physician couple worked hard to pay their debt off and start saving. They have learned that while they want to be set up for a comfortable retirement, they also are not trying to FIRE. They want to save responsibly while still spending money now and making the most of life right now with their kids. His advice to you is to be persistent and consistent and to be patient. If you stick to your plan you will be successful!
