The Physician Philosopher's Guide to Personal Finance: The 20% of Personal Finance Doctors Need to Know to Get 80% of the Results
In medical training, our job is to hone our craft by learning and practicing the best possible medicine for our patients. Unfortunately, medical training isn't free. With the substantial debt burden facing graduating medical students, it has become increasingly important to know how to navigate the choppy waters of personal finance. With sharks in the water, no training on personal finance, and little time to spare on such an important topic, this short primer aims to teach you only what you need to know about personal finance so that you can focus on taking good care of patients. If you are ready to learn how to effectively pay down your student loans, invest efficiently, and achieve financial freedom early in your career - then this book is for you.
Feel free to take a look at the introductory portion of the book through the "Look Inside" feature.
Here are some of the essential topics you will learn in The Physician Philosopher's Guide to Personal Finance: â—Investing basics (compound interest, time in the market versus “timing†the market, etc.) â—Investing specifics (types of vehicles, solid investment plans, and examples) â—Specifics on how to attack your student loans â—Paying off debt versus investing (or both) at various stages â—Asset protection (life, disability, umbrella insurance, etc) â—Where to get financial advice and identifying where conflicts of interest exist â—Why lifestyle inflation matters after training and how it can wreck your life
