Today we are talking with a family doc who has reached financial independence. This doc has followed a path that not too many follow anymore. He is a solo practice doctor and feels like his decision to own his own practice made all the difference in both his lifestyle and his finances. He took a risk to not only open his own practice but also to build and own the building he practices in. Impressively, he is completely debt free and can now just watch his wealth grow. After the interview we will be talking more about financial independence for Finance 101.

Today we talk to a Pulmonologist who paid off nearly $300,000 of loans in less than 5 years. He shares that he initially operated under the ignorance is bliss mindset and opted to avoid worrying about his loans at all. Once he had a bit of a financial awakening, got married and started a family he realized he needed to get after the loans and take control of his financial life. He then made a goal to pay off his loans by age 40 and happened to accomplish that goal early. He shows that all it takes is a plan, and even if you get started a little late you can always become financially successful. Not only has he paid off his loans but he has also become a millionaire. His next goal is to reach financial independence by his mid 50s. After the interview we talk about how to pay for school for Finance 101.
