Episode Details

What if your first three years as an attending decide whether you work three days a week in your 40s—or six days into your 60s?

Dr. Jimmy Turner burned out early in his career—antidepressants, 1.3 FTE, the works—before discovering the fix: working less. He and Justin Harvey, CFP, break down Coast FIRE, your Wealth Accumulation Rate, and why the savings decisions you make right out of training set a trajectory you'll feel for decades.

What you'll learn:

• Why a ~30% Wealth Accumulation Rate early on can buy you a 3-day clinical week later
• How Coast FIRE lets you save less down the road and still reach financial independence on time
• The two kinds of autonomy—personal and professional—that really drive physician burnout
• A smarter take on "live like a resident" so you can enjoy your income without losing the plot
