Early and often we are taught to advocate for our patients and “First, Do No Harm.” What if I told you that the same principle applies to personal finance and, in particular, physician finance? It is your job to protect yourself from harm. Today we will discuss three key concepts in this arena.

Mouse is a self-described husband (to a doctor), father, engineer, and finance blogger. He builds awesome money models to predict the chances people have at successfully reaching their goals. Today, we will see Mouse’s model for me and answer the pen-ultimate question: Will I be able to retire?
In medicine, we have to handover care to the medical providers coming behind us. Just like we run the list to “check out” on the patients we are taking care of, we will run a list of articles I think are worth your time to read. Today, we will discuss The June Monthly Checkout.
This week’s “Wellness Wednesday” post has two changes. 1) It wasn’t posted on Wednesday (Tuesday!), and 2) It’s not on this site! You’ll have to venture over to Camp FIRE finance to find the article where I discuss physician burnout, financial independence, and why you should care even if you aren’t a doctor!

When your life goals have you pinned up against the wall, it’s time to fight back. Today, I talk about how I fought back to achieve both my investment goals and my goal to destroy my debt. With a fixed timeline to get my little girl to a different school by 2019, I had to become a little more intentional about paying off debt faster.
