Summary
Today we are talking to a resident who is already back to broke. He had a leg up from fantastic parents who were able to help pay for his first few years of medical school. He is a great example of showing that you can get started on your financial journey before you even get your first attending paycheck. His secret to success is educating yourself early, living like a resident, and being extremely conscious of where you are spending you money. His next goal is aggressively paying off his student loans as soon as he is out of training. After the interview we are talking about flipping your home to a rental property for finance 101 and if that is a good idea or not.
If you're like most doctors, nobody taught you anything about personal finance or investing during your undergrad, professional school, or residency.

Your high income alone will not lead to financial success, but as always, we want to help you on your financial journey. Go to https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financialbootcamp to sign up today!
