I'm very excited to welcome you to my conversation with Dr. Brittne Halford as today's guest! She had just graduated from Northwestern Medical School, strapped with $131k in student loan debt. During her residency, she completed loan forgiveness but was only making the minimum payment toward my student loans. Every time she thought about her debt, she'd feel anxious and overwhelmed. Her parents were frugal and taught her how to save, but didn’t teach her how to manage large sums of debt or how to build generational wealth. She knew there had to be more. Dr. Halford is a great example of the upcoming (and current) physicians fresh out of medical school that are faced with serious financial decisions: "Do I pay off my student loans rapidly and forego the 'lifestyle' that comes with being a well-paid doctor?" "How can I be introspective and honor myself when I'm being told many times over that I should spend, invest, then pay down debt?" "What resources are there for me to learn more about my loans and how do I know which ones will benefit me?"You'll learn a lot of the answers that worked best for Dr. Halford and how she formed numerous cohorts of successful physicians to build her business helping women physicians make smarter and more educated decisions when it comes to their finances.
