MtoM #234: Psychiatrist Opens a Private Practice and Still Manages to Pay Off Her Student Loans in 2 years and Finance 101: How to Invest at All Time Highs
Podcast:White Coat Investor Podcast Published On: Mon Aug 04 2025 Description: Today we are celebrating a psychiatrist who opened a private practice and paid off her student loans only a few years out of residency. She said she is very debt averse and poured every dollar she could to crushing the loans. Not only did she tackle her loans but she also opened a private practice at the same time. She wanted to provide the highest quality of care for her patience and believed private practice was the best way to do that. She also wanted the freedom and flexibility that comes from working for herself. Opening a private practice was scary but she never doubted her decision and has been super successful. After the interview we are talking about investing when the market is at an all time high for Finance 101.
