- 001 | Welcome to PA the FI Way: A Brief Overview of the PA Profession and the Concept of FI
Welcome to the PA the FI Way podcast! I'm so excited for you to join me! I'm your host, Kat, and I'm a PA-C. During this episode, I give a brief overview of the PA profession, as well as FI (financial independence), and why I think this is an important personal finance topic for PAs to learn about and to consider implementing in their lives.
My target audience includes current PAs and future PAs, including PA-S and pre-PA students, as well as high school students considering the PA profession!

21 min - 002 | Find Your Why of FI: How to Cut Costs, but Keep What You Value in Life
It's important to consider your "why" of wanting to pursue FI (financial independence), or you may get discouraged along the way.
The first couple of steps in your FI journey are to track your expenses and calculate your net worth to see where you're starting from. Don't be discouraged if your net worth is a negative number! After reviewing your expenses, ask yourself, "Do I value the fluff?"
Next, figure out ways to cut costs, so you can save more to invest more by using various general concepts of FI. If you focus your efforts on cutting costs in The 3 Big Budget Items (Housing, Transportation, and Food), you'll supercharge your savings rate! However, it is so very important to consider what you truly do VALUE in life (personally I value awesome coffee!), so that you do not cut those things out, otherwise life satisfaction may decrease (which is the opposite effect of what pursuing FI is supposed to do!).

About PA the FI Way
From the publisher's feed
Becoming a physician assistant (PA) is difficult. But becoming a PA on the way to financial independence (FI) shouldn’t be. Allow the PA the FI Way podcast to be your guide to becoming a physician assistant on the way to financial independence.
Unfortunately, even basic personal finance and budget concepts are rarely taught in high school, college or PA school. Then once PA students become certified physician assistants and begin their professional journey practicing medicine, they typically have a heap of student loans just waiting to be paid back. Let’s not only discuss how to prevent large student loan amounts, but also how to pay them back quickly. Let’s discuss how practicing PAs can learn to save and invest for their futures. PA the FI Way’s mission is to provide both future and current PAs alike strategies to not only become financially literate, but to also reach financial independence along the way. Think of it as personal finance for PAs with a financial independence twist. Financial independence provides the freedom to find balance in work and personal life.
FI is about creating the life you want to live, choosing when to retire (IF you want to retire early), choosing when to cut back on working, or choosing when to work on another passion in your life. The decision truly is yours, and I hope you decide to join me on the journey to becoming a PA the FI Way.
