NOTE this was recorded before the change in terminology to 'Resident Doctor' from 'Junior Doctor'.


 


Achieve Financial Independence with FU Money: A Doctor's Journey In this video, we explore the concept of financial independence (FI) and how FU money can serve as a stepping stone toward achieving it. The speaker, once heavily indebted as a resident doctor, shares his personal journey from debt to financial stability. He explains the concept of FU money, which is enough savings or resources to allow for short-term freedom from a main job. Using examples from his own life, including a three-month surfing trip to Hawaii and the founding of 'Medics Money,' the speaker demonstrates how strategic financial planning and disciplined saving can make even seemingly unachievable goals attainable. The video highlights key financial skills such as optimizing tax, controlling spending, and setting mini-goals, ultimately providing viewers with practical steps to start their own journey toward financial independence.
