How does a physician become a millionaire by age 38?
In this Milestones to Millionaire episode, we talk with a physician who recently reached $1 million in net worth at a relatively young age, while also receiving more than $300,000 in student loan forgiveness through Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
We discuss the financial decisions that helped build wealth early, the impact of student loan forgiveness, and advice for other physicians working toward financial independence.
Building wealth as a physician is often a long journey, but smart financial decisions early in your career can make a major difference.

What should you do when a large amount of money suddenly enters your life?

We discuss the financial choices made after receiving the inheritance, lessons learned along the way, and advice for other physicians navigating major financial decisions.
