Episode Description

In this episode of "Money Meets Medicine," hosts Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner explore the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement’s relevance for physicians. They discuss the psychological and practical challenges of pursuing FIRE, such as the importance of purpose beyond early retirement, the impact of extreme frugality on relationships, and the need to align financial goals with personal values. The hosts also highlight the critical role of disability insurance and stress viewing money as a tool for creating a meaningful, balanced life, rather than simply an escape from work.
