    This doc has become a millionaire just 4 years out of training. He comes from a two doc family who saved up enough to cover the cost of under grad and medical school. Getting out of training with no debt made a massive impact on his financial future. He expressed a huge amount of gratitude. He also said he was not financially literate and did not really learn about finances until he picked up the WCI book during residency. Between the help from his parents and becoming financially literate he was able to hit the ground running and start building his wealth. His big advice to you is before you get a paycheck, have a plan for it. His next goal is to celebrate his upcoming wedding and then to start saving for house, which is no small goal in New York City where he lives.

    WCI #401: Risk vs Reward - How to Find the Balance

    Today we are talking about finding balance in our lives. We discuss how to know what our risk tolerance is both in the finance space but also in our lifestyle.

We talk about how to know when we are working too hard and are too focused on saving for retirement that we forget to live our lives right now.
