A Free Personal Finance Guide for Physicians
For those who have not been following the blog over the past few months, I have been using my (almost) weekly publishing cadence to write a book. I am still somewhat unclear about what I plan to do with this work when it is completed, but I foresee it will last approximately 14-15 chapters. Our most recently published post marked the completion of Chapter 7 of our current content series; thus, we have hit the halfway point! Here is a free personal finance guide for physicians (so far…)
Table of Contents
Before I Start the Back Half
While I sat down to formally start Chapter 8, I figured I would pause for a moment to acknowledge the milestone reached and hope to remind everyone that nearly half of a personal finance book is up on my website for free! However, I totally understand that navigating each individual blog post, chapter by chapter, may be more cumbersome of a reading experience than you wish to pursue. As such, I wanted to publish a (mini) blog post.
This week I have worked to create a table of contents guiding you to each individual chapter. My current working title is Doctor Money: A Personal Finance Guide for Physicians, and thus, I have coined the current content series as well. In the first half of this work, we have addressed some of the cornerstones of sound physician finances. From our introduction defining ‘The Doctors Dilemma’ to our most recent publication on How Physicians Should Address Student Loans in 2024. Each chapter seeks to accurately and efficiently tackle a subject paramount to medical trainees and early career medical professionals.
What follows is a table of contents…of sorts. I have created links to each individual introduction and chapter. Further, I have edited each specific chapter to include the previous and subsequent chapters to facilitate a more fluid reading experience. I hope you enjoy it and share it with your family, friends, and colleagues!

I hope you enjoyed reading some or all the information provided in the first half of this content series (future book?). I am genuinely working to create something timeless for the betterment of our young professionals. Though many other great works target physician finance, I believe my transparency, honesty, and shared experience make this a more relatable work in the personal finance niche. I hope you agree.
I am already completing Chapter 8, focusing on automating your finances and savings. Saving is easier if you remove the human element. How can you better automate your financial future?

Additional Resources
Though I highly recommend everyone check out our ‘book in progress,’ I wanted to make sure I included links to other great physician finance books. Here are a few that I think should be included alongside mine to help any trainee or early career professional start off on the right foot:
The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance
The Only Investment Guide You Will Ever Need
The Doctor’s Guide to Eliminating Debt
