Review The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance

by JAMES D. TURNER

Description

In James Turner’s latest edition of “The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance,” he provides an excellent and essential guide to manage personal finances appropriately. Specifically written and targeted to students in medical training, Turner acknowledges the time-constraining and expensive hurdles one must take in order to pursue a career in the medical field. From here, “The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance” provides self-help guidance to those who already in debt and shows them a way out to financial freedom. While there are some who find the complexities of this book to be a rather overwhelming feat, Turner simplifies them with easy step-by-step instructions and explanations to strategies that may otherwise take even more time to grasp. From the planning stage to the execution, and after that, Turner’s “The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance” will surely help those along the way and whichever stage you are in your medical training.  

About the Author

James D. Turner, MD, is a husband, father of three, author, inventor, and blogger at The Physician Philosopher. More about his work can be found at www.thephysicianphilosopher.com. He also happens to be a physician practicing academic anesthesiology. On a side note, he had managed to pay off all $200,000 of his student loan debt in 19 months and has increased his net worth by $250,000 in just 12 months out of training.

While in training, a few books and a couple of conversations opened his eyes to the fact that he had accrued way more debt than I should have in training, but (despite that), he could still be financially independent in his early 40’s.
