MtoM #219: Veterinarian Gets Back to Broke in 10 Months and Finance 101: Mutual Funds
Today we hear from a Veterinarian who is back to broke only 10 months out of training. This vet lives in the midwest and really shows what geo arbitrage can do. He has a fantastic income and a very low cost of living and those two things make a huge impact on finances. He has paid off almost all of his student loans and has saved for a down payment at the same time. His frugality, smart decisions, and hard work has made all of this possible. Using those skills will ensure that he will be financially independent in no time. After the interview we will talk about mutual funds for finance 101.

WCI #415: The Radiologist Next Door Takes a Year Off
Dr. Dahle's good friend, Dr. Matt Morgan, joins us on the podcast today. Dr. Morgan just completed a one year sabbatical that was all about living intentionally and creating the life he wants now, not after retirement. Matt talked about his desire to be able to say yes to the things he loves any time he wanted to. He and his family spent time at home as well as traveling to New Zealand and all over Europe. He is a great example of not necessarily needing to reach FIRE to travel and take time off and do what you want to do. He shares how he prepared for the year, how he talked to his employer about the time off, how his family participated and everything else that went into making this adventure possible. Today’s episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right. Paying off student debt quickly and getting your finances back on track isn't easy, but that’s where SoFi can help — they have exclusive, low rates designed to help medical residents refinance student loans—and that could end up saving you thousands of dollars, helping you get out of student debt sooner.

MtoM #217: Ophthalmologist Overcomes Financial Mistakes and Finance 101: Career Longevity
Today we are talking with a doc who is celebrating getting back on track after some financial mistakes. He made the same mistake so many of us have and ended up with a bad financial advisor. His advisor sold him a disability policy that was overpriced and not a good product. Once he had his financial awakening he realized he could do this on his own. He fired his advisor and dropped the crappy policy. He took on his student loans in a new way and got rid of those too. He talked about the process of forgiving himself for his mistakes and celebrated the things he did do well. We love this story that shows us that making mistakes is part of the deal and you can always take control of your financial life and get back on track.
