Below you'll find a list of all posts that have been categorized as “Physician Finance Community”
They were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. They had that certain sparkle in the eyes. They boldly set out to revolutionize physician financial literacy. Then they disappeared. The physician finance blogosphere is relatively small, but for the past several years the rate of new blogs coming online exploded with Malthusian vigor, like Silicon Valley startups in 1999. I first counted 50 on …
September of 2019 marked my third year as a physician finance blogger. Blogging has not brought me fortune or fame. Why do I keep doing it? It requires discipline Like many of you, once upon a time I had aspirations/pretensions of channeling ideas through the written word. Committing to writing 2 posts a week indefinitely is discipline on a deadline …
July started with a bang, and I thought I’d share it with those few of you who read the blog despite not sharing DNA with me. It was a weird “moons lined up with Jupiter” sort of situation where several of my invisible friends through blogging bestowed kindnesses that happened to occur in roughly the same one week period. For …
No reader will accuse me of excessive entrepreneurial skill, but I recognize a good opportunity when I see it. From April 4th-12th, readers who purchase the White Coat Investor’s Fire Your Financial Advisor! course (reviewed here) will get complete access, at no additional cost, to videos from the inaugural WCI Con 2018, officially known as the Physician Wellness and Financial …
People who read blogs like this one usually read many blogs, and as a result they need to be highly efficient with their time and do so very quickly. I get it because I do it, too. Which is why this is kind of a big ask for someone as busy as you, dear reader. Sometime this week, I’d like …
Today I’ll depart from my usual post and instead ask you to download the What’s Up Next podcast, hosted by Doc G and Paul David Thompson. Episode #17 tackles the very pertinent question of whether physicians should pursue Financial Independence (FI), and explores the implications of their doing so, such as: Do physicians violate an unwritten social contract if they opt …
What’s an avatar? Before FinCon18, I assumed Avatar meant the James Cameron movie with a presumably thin plot padded by special effects (I’ve never seen it, so feel free to correct me). Now, I understand an avatar represents the theoretical person I’m trying to reach via this blog. This led to some natural soul-searching. I’d always thought I was writing …
One of the eye-opening realizations I took away from attending FinCon18 was that I need to form a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) before I try my hand at consulting. The benefits of an LLC are that your assets and the corporation’s assets are separate. This is theoretically a barrier preventing a client who goes after your business from going after …
Hail to the Chief (Mom Officer) Liz, who blogs at Chief Mom Officer, is an invisible friend I met through the world of blogging about financial independence. She first came to my attention via the Rockstar Finance forum, which is a virtual clubhouse for bloggers who geek out over personal finance. I like Liz because she is thoughtful and considerate …
Have you heard the news? He has started a blog! I’m referring to Gasem, the brilliant retired anesthesiologist with rapier-sharp wit who’s opinion seems to be two standard deviations off from the mainstream and simultaneously far more sound than the mainstream, if that’possible. Please check out his site and show him some love in the comments. Gasem has supported many …
