Very few go to medical school with the primary goal of becoming rich, but doctors receive a high income for a reason and certainly don’t need to apologize for it.
However, achieving that income is no longer enough to enjoy the life you pictured after getting accepted to medical school.
A staggering number of physicians 10 years ahead of you feel underpaid, stressed about money, and live paycheck to paycheck. Despite decades with a high income, over 25% of doctors in their 60’s are not yet millionaires, and 12% have a net worth of less than $500,000.
You work way too hard not to be financially successful.
As a student, you are required to make some of the most significant decisions of your life without the basic financial knowledge to make them well: everything from figuring out how to pay for school, choosing your specialty, ranking residency programs, and especially where to live.
Despite being years away from earning "doctor money," NOW is the time to start learning about personal finance.
Your education is an investment, and you should obtain the highest return possible
Fire Your Financial Advisor for Students is the student portion of the complete Fire Your Financial Advisor course series. It is a 5-hour online video course (with audio-only listening options) where you will navigate student loans and lay the groundwork to become a millionaire within 5-10 years of residency graduation.
This course teaches you to live better on less money and take full advantage of both government student loan programs and the tax code. You’ll also learn how to choose your specialty and residency program, and how to avoid financial catastrophes that can begin even before you leave school.
Applying the information taught in the Fire Your Financial Advisor (FYFA) course series will dramatically change your life, and you can enjoy a career most doctors only dream of.
By mid-career, you can eliminate the parts of your job that you dislike. You can drop night shifts and call. You can work with great partners and an ideal patient population. You can go on vacation every month, drive your dream car, and live where you want to live.
With the financial know-how and a written financial plan developed through the FYFA series, you will enjoy the freedom to spend guilt-free while still achieving your goals.
When you finish the course, you’ll feel confident that:
- You understand the role of money in your career
- You are managing your student loans the best way, maximizing the benefits of government programs, and have a plan for minimizing your debt
- You know how to evaluate schools, specialties, and residency programs
- You have the best insurance for your needs at the best possible price and your family will be well taken care of if something should happen to you
- You understand the basics of investing and how you will use your eventual high income to build wealth
Your schedule is packed and your budget is tight, but what you will learn in the Fire Your Financial Advisor for Students course can literally make a difference worth millions of dollars over the course of your career.
This course will empower your life with the financial know-how to make career decisions that combat burnout and ensure longevity in your chosen profession. Having a plan for your loans will help you sleep worry-free at night. The security of having a financial plan in place will give you the choice to take sabbaticals, work part-time, go on the “parent track” for a few months or years, stay in academics, or even pursue passion projects. Ultimately, you will be able to choose to work in medicine past financial independence because you want to, not because you have to.
As an added bonus, the course includes worksheets and examples that you can modify and use as you build your financial plan.
Here’s what a few of the 6,500 students have to say about the course:
You can do this! While you may not have had classes about student loans, investing, taxes, or insurance in school, you have excelled at far more complicated subjects.
Thankfully, finances are much easier than organic chemistry.
Even if you plan on hiring a financial advisor, it's crucial to know the basics of personal finance. Unlike doctors' commitment to the Hippocratic oath, there is no similar oath for financial professionals.
Sadly, many doctors are ripped off by "advisors" and insurance agents. In fact, The White Coat Investor was born from a desire to protect other doctors from being taken advantage of.
Managing your own money can be one of your best-paid hobbies saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial advisor fees each year. But despite its provocative name, what’s included in the Fire Your Financial Advisor course series will help you find and vet a financial advisor who won’t rip you off and will align with your financial needs.
You’ll finish the series with confidence that you understand foundational investing concepts and an advisor can help to implement them in your plan.
