As our interviewee today relates, working nights across state lines at a distance? That’s an entirely different ballgame.

But doing so may well put our guest today on the path to financial independence perhaps within the next decade, especially with a solid government pension in play.

Getting to Know You

My goal is for all my residents to achieve FI as early as possible while hopefully maintaining their passion for medicine so that they can become a generation of fearless doctors who can challenge terrible systems and help our patients by doing so. I hope that they will be amazing doctors with long, happy careers by choice so that when my loved ones and I need help, we will be in good hands.

Where are you on your financial independence journey? Have you crossed the halfway point in terms of net worth and/or passive income?

We are nearing the halfway point.

Tell us about your household. How many people and at what ages? Are you supporting anyone outside of your home? Where do you live?

Married, both 41. Three kids age 5 and under and no more planned. We both are generous with our parents, but otherwise don’t support anyone outside our household. We live in a mid- to high cost of living area in Texas.
