Financial Anonymous: are you really good?

Financial Anonymous: are you really good?

Author: Vu Kiet Tran April 23, 2023 Duration: 18:10
 "I am good" is what I often hear from colleagues who either do not want to deal, do not want to be bothered, do not feel confident, or feel embarrassed about their own personal finances. Many are heading towards a path of financial hardship in the future because they haven't learned how to properly plan for the future. Physicians make a good income but physicians also like to spend. We have so-called "experts" helping with our finances. We often ask them for advice. The advice is not always in our best interest. But I am not sure that physicians can pick that up. Physicians have serious financial problems. Most physicians do not recognize it nor acknowledges it. Physicians need "financial anonymous".   Please leave your comments and/or feedback at hmfhd2020@gmail.com
