A Doctor’s Retirement Regret Every Medic Should Hear

So recently I spoke with a retired doctor, 72 years, who had told me he had gone back to working nights and weekends. It's not because he wanted to. Retirement has simply not gone to plan the way he envisaged it. So after decades, about 4 decades in medicine, he retired with an NHS pension, so workplace pension. But he felt it wasn't giving him the level of freedom, financial freedom he wanted. There are things he wanted to do. So he decided to start investing, but he didn't understand anything about investing, very little. He put a significant amount of money into investing and lost a lot of it. In fact, he sold at a loss. He spent decades building it, but he lost a chunk of it. Now, what stayed with me was not the loss itself. It's the regret. He told me he wished he had understood basic investing 20 years earlier on, and not when he suddenly needed to start investing when he had retired, when he should actually be reaping the benefits. So doctors deserve better than this. They deserve better than learning the hard way. it's important to learn and understand how to manage your finances. Look, I'm running a free investing masterclass for doctors. You can attend for free if you comment class. I'll send you all the details.
