She's 26, freshly married, living in the Midwest, and working as a barista to make ends meet — while simultaneously training to become a doctor.

Meet Carla. She's a medical student pursuing family medicine and psychiatry, navigating one of the most financially demanding seasons of life: medical school, a brand new marriage, and a future that's full of potential but tight on cash right now.

In this episode of Future Rich, CFP® Barbara Ginty sits down with Carla to untangle her financial picture and build a real plan, one that works on a barista's income, medical school grants, and a whole lot of determination.

The good news? Carla's situation is more manageable than it might seem. She's already saving $200K in tuition through her program, has $16,500 in grants, and has a partner working and going to school simultaneously. Barb helps her see the full picture and what to do with it.

In this episode, Barb and Carla discuss:

• How to manage $39K in student loans while still in school
• What saving and investing looks like on a $12K barista salary + medical school grants
• Why Carla's tuition-free program is a bigger financial win than she realizes
• Retirement planning strategies for future doctors, when to start and how
• How Carla and her husband can build a financial foundation together
• Family planning considerations during medical training: what to think about financially before having kids.
• The financial reality of pursuing family medicine and psychiatry and what income looks like on the other side.
