4 Physicians
The Tale of 4 Physicians Began as a thought exercise to measure the impact of lifestyle (spending) on the ability to become financially independent. The post seemed to strike a chord with readers, as evidenced by its popularity.
I figured it would be fun to play puppet master with the lives of Drs. A, B, C, and D, as they went on to have their financial lives redirected by a series of life-altering decisions. I will keep a collection of their adventures and misadventures here for easy reference.
