This is a YouTube video titled "General Surgeon Becomes A Millionaire In 3 Years" containing a conversation between two speakers discussing the financial milestone of a general surgeon and his wife achieving a net worth of $1 million and paying off student loans within three years of completing training. The discussion includes details about their household income and savings rate. The speakers are not identified as Jim Dahle.
I am a general surgeon. I'll be three years out of training in about three more months.
Less than three years out of training. That's going to make this milestone all the more impressive. Tell the audience what milestone we're celebrating today.
The big milestone is my wife and I just achieved a net worth of $1 million. We also have paid off our student loans.
Wow. Millionaires. Less than three years out of residency. That's, you know, that's more than twice as fast as Katie and I were able to do it. That's pretty awesome. You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you. What's been your average income, average household income over the last three years?
Between the two of us, we're right at 500,000. So my salary is 440 and hers is about 60,000 as a teacher.
Well, what that suggests to me is that you probably put about two thirds of your income toward building wealth over the last three years, which is a heck of a percentage.
