MtoM #55 - Pediatrician Reaches Financia...

Dr. Jim Dahle of the White Coat Investor
About this episode

This pediatrician has an amazing story. 2 lessons we can learn from her. One, despite having a great income as a pediatrician she still found herself with 5 car loans! But even with not starting out great financially, she was able to reach financial independence. Two, choose a specialty you love so you can practice it long term. But once you've done that, recognize there are people in your specialty making more money and there is no reason why you can't be one of them.
