INTRODUCTION
This is a comprehensive yet concise guide to and through all the information you need to financially prepare for intern year. Essentially, it’s everything and nothing more than you’ll need to succeed financially in your transition to residency – and by extension, in your career. If you read through this guide and follow through on its recommendations, you’ll be well on your way to financial success in both residency and beyond!
It’s probable that, like me, you’ve mostly avoided financial literacy education up until this point and, hey, we’ve “survived” just fine – but the truth is that, unfortunately, this might be our last chance to learn the basics without making any serious financial mistakes. The good news? This financial survival guide will deliver the knowledge every intern needs in order to (1) avoid major mistakes now and (2) build the habits necessary for financial success in the future. Such financial success will no doubt bring with it the freedom to work where you want, how you want, and when you want – and ultimately, means that more of your time and money will be directed toward what brings you the most joy.
