Review The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance
BY JAMES D. TURNER
Description
This book is a brief overview of the aspects of personal finance that are significant to real-world applications. More importantly, this book on personal finance is for students of medicine trying to avoid drowning in debt burden after graduation. Since medicine graduates are usually overworked and have little to no time outside the realm of their profession, Turner made this book especially brief so they can still focus on their duties but at the same time address their important issues on personal finance.
This book includes the fundamentals of investing, the specifics, addressing student loans, paying off debt, asset protection, and more. This book is made for medicine graduates who manage personal finance on the go.
Dr. Turner makes personal finance easier to understand by discussing only the areas that actually matter. He discusses the various aspects of financial planning, and by taking the fundamentals, he boils down these topics into easily digestible ones. The brief but concise discussions of the topics are beneficial not only too busy physicians, but also to non-physicians learning about personal finance.
This guide immediately discusses the topics and ensures the reader will get a well-rounded and comprehensive list of how to handle personal finance, with debt, savings, and others included.
