Many doctors are heading towards an uncomfortable retirement. They'll be unable to retire comfortably and early. And it's not because we didn't work extremely hard, it's because of 10 big financial mistakes that doctors and healthcare professionals make. Sadly, medical school just doesn't teach us these things and we don't get to learn them. I'll give you an example with Dr. Lena, an NHS consultant, dedicated consultant, earning over £100,000 annually. But despite her decent income, she made several costly mistakes. Poor investments, wrong life insurance and income protection and didn't have an emergency fund. Unfortunately, this led her to a lot of financial anxiety and burnout and she had actually taken advice from the wrong financial advisor, who's really a financial salesperson. Now. If you're new here, I'm Dr. Andy Guim. I'm a former salary GP and I've been an investor for 20 years. I also founded moneywisedoctor.com to help doctors and healthcare professionals make smarter financial decisions.
