#1 Amazon Best Seller

You sacrificed your 20s, took on massive debt, and dedicated yourself to life-saving work, trusting that financial success would follow.

Yet, 24% of doctors in their 60s are not millionaires even after decades with a six-figure income.

That doesn’t need to be you.

Despite years of training, you likely never had classes on personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, estate planning, asset protection, or business.

The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals.

Dr. Jim Dahle, Emergency Physician and Founder of The White Coat Investor, will teach you to use your high income to get out of debt, buy your dream home, and become a millionaire 5-10 years after residency graduation.

After reading, you will know how to:

• Get out of student loan debt 2-5 years after residency graduation
• Save enough money to reach your goals and spend the rest on whatever you like guilt-free
• Protect your family, career, and assets with the right insurance
• Keep more of your hard-earned money by maximizing tax deductions
• Invest effectively and avoid extra fees on your own or with an advisor
• Decide on the right employment type and business structure
• Become a millionaire within 5-10 years of graduating residency

You deserve financial success and the freedom to practice medicine on your terms. The White Coat Investor: Doctor's Guide to Personal Finance and Investing is the high-yield guide every physician needs to build the life they want.

     James M. Dahle, MD, when not out skiing, mountain biking, or rock climbing with his wife and three children, practices emergency medicine in suburban Utah. As a medical resident, he grew tired of being ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals including mutual fund salesmen, insurance agents, realtors, mortgage lenders, and stock brokers and began educating himself on the ins and outs of personal finance and investing. In 2011, he started The White Coat Investor, now the most widely read, physician-specific personal finance and investing blog in the world, with nearly 200,000 page views per month. His writing helps doctors avoid the mistakes he made and get a “fair shake” on Wall Street.

     Dr. Dahle is a featured columnist for ACEP Now and Physician’s Monthly Digest. His work has also been featured in Medical Economics, Practice Link Magazine, Ophthalmology Business, American Academy of Dermatology Young Physician Focus, and The ACEP Young Physicians Section Newsletter. He also participated in writing The Bogleheads Guide to Retirement Planning.

     Dr. Dahle has found the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel of medical training. Despite ever-increasing medical student debt burdens, decreasing reimbursements, and increasing regulatory hassle, he became a millionaire at age 38, just ten years after graduating from medical school. He achieved this success not with burnout-inducing levels of hard work nor long periods of financial deprivation, but rather with solid financial decision-making and a prudent financial approach to the first few years out of residency.

     Now he shares his wisdom with medical students, residents, physicians, dentists and similar high income professionals so they can free themselves from debt, quit worrying about money, build wealth, live “the good life,” and get back to practicing medicine on their own terms. The principles he espouses are neither complicated nor risky, but the process of becoming wealthy as a physician is by no means automatic.
