Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, the show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge,

skills, insight and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while

building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My guest today is Peter Steinberg and Peter you wrote me an email is how we got to this

interview and you said Joshua I've been a long time listener and we've talked

on some Q&A shows but you don't think that being a doctor

as a primary means of building wealth is a good idea and I begged a difference so

I'm going to come on and argue my case and I thought it sounded like fun and so we've got you here to argue that that going into the practice of medicine is going to be a fantastic move from a financial perspective is that is that accurate so far

That's totally accurate now I am hard on on

I guess physicians and I probably shouldn't be I guess it's just having worked

with so many face-to-face that had nothing but complaints to say about about how

little money they were making now compared to how they used to be and

how difficult their life was.

Perhaps I've gained a jaded view of the profession.

But I invite you to introduce yourself, tell us a little bit about your professional background

and begin to make the case to us about why people should consider medicine especially from a

financial perspective.

Sure.

So my name is Peter Steinberg. I'm a practicing urologist in the Boston area and I've been in practice for about five to six years now.

So I'm not just a doy-eyed new pup out there,

but I'm also not one of the cynical,

you know, 60, 65 year old positions
