MtoM #134: Primary Care Doc Becomes A Millionaire And Pays Off Student Loans in 4.5 Years And Finance 101: Hitting The Ground Running
This doc has been a White Coat Investor since he was a med student. He got started with his financial journey during residency and has hit financial milestones left and right. Less than 5 years after residency he has paid off his student loans, acquired several real estate properties, invested wisely and become a millionaire. If you want to follow in his path he recommends that you learn all you can, absorb everything you can, surround yourself with like minded people and work hard up front. After the interview we will talk about hitting the ground running for Finance 101. We estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price. If you need help updating your financial plan or just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at https://whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-advisors.
