Dr. Jimmy Turner is a practicing anesthesiologist and also a personal finance blogger, podcaster, and author of The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance.
He also happens to be a physician practicing academic anesthesiology who paid off $200,000 of student loan debt in 19 months and increased his net worth by $250,000 in just 12 months out of training.
While in training, a few books and a couple of conversations opened his eyes to the fact that he accrued way more debt than he should have in training, but (despite that) he could still be financially independent in his early 40's.
Given the burnout epidemic that exists in medicine, he felt that the message of financial independence was both timely and important. And despite all of the awesome work that was being done by other physician finance websites, there was still a huge need.
