Publisher's Summary
Written by a practicing emergency physician, 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. Doctors are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult diagnoses and performing life-saving procedures. However, they receive little to no training in business, personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and asset protection.
This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your high income to escape from your student loans, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals. Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books.
This book will teach you how to:
- Graduate from medical school with as little debt as possible
- Escape from student loans within two to five years of residency graduation
- Purchase the right types and amounts of insurance
- Decide when to buy a house and how much to spend on it
- Learn to invest in a sensible, low-cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of an advisor
- Avoid investments which are designed to be sold, not bought
- Select advisors who give great service and advice at a fair price
- Become a millionaire within five to 10 years of residency graduation
- Protect your hard-won assets from professional and personal lawsuits
- Avoid estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure your children and your money go where you want when you die
- Minimize your tax burden, keeping more of your hard-earned money
- Decide between an employee job and an independent contractor job
- And so much more

good down to earth examples

May be a five-star book, but not necessarily the kind of book to listen to in Audible as you miss the graphs and may get lost in the numbers.

why read hyperlinks?
about half of the words read are "dash" when he's reading hyperlinks, most of which are on the blog anyway. also, the book is geared toward the resident, leaving anyone who is not in their 20's a bit regretful.

Excellent info for Doctors and others
This is a great book for doctors and professionals at all stages of their careers. Insightful and concise advice.
One limited drawback to the audiobook version is that there are references to charts and figures. If there was a downloadable compendium, then it would make the experience of the audiobook more valuable and complete.

Paging Dr Baller??…not so fast
Legit advice. Retire by 50 with seven figure nest egg if you can perform the high degree of difficulty of graduating on time, living way below your means until 33 and also 4 years post residency, socking away 25% of income in index funds for 20 years and proposing to a well adjusted non dysfunctional partner(super high degree of difficulty) all the while trying not to envy the less educated drive by in their Lambos and Hermes bags sipping Dom partying in Ibiza every summer of their youth. But at least you are middle aged—albeit grizzled, beaten down, a sorry sack of cynical bones by then—and financially independent maybe, that is if your marriage managed to survive the neglect experienced by your partner and children that you realize late is the inevitable byproduct of such a caring “unselfish” profession.
Yay? Can’t have it all I guess. Welcome to Reality.

If you narrate one more URL I'll scream
This book was fantastic. I'm a beginning white coat investor and plan to listen to this periodically for a refresher. Plain talk and sound advice has already saved me from being taken advantage of. Pace is appropriate. I even liked the narrator's voice. But OH MAN there are websites at the end of each chapter for resources, and the narrator says "dot" and "dash" with such alacrity and frequency, I had to seriously talk myself down from discarding my phone out the window on the Skyway Bridge. Small complaint, but my wife is also listening to this book and had to rage-quit when the URLs were being read.

The Book You're Looking For
I bought this book as I was in search of concrete and practical information on investing and personal finance. This book is rife with helpful info that is specific to the challenges facing physicians, dentists, and other high earning professionals that have taken great opportunity cost to get to where they are. You'll get more out of this book than others two times it's length. Also be sure to check out the website!

Pearls
Most physicians can relate to the rare and treasured experience, when that Expert Attending shares their "clinical pearls" -- beautifully value-dense collections of years of knowledge across several disciplines by an astute mind. It is always time well spent, an epiphany to residents, yet also a great value even to the experienced.
Jim Dahle shares real Financial Pearls here. No wasteland of mostly irrelevant information to sift through, incomplete explanations, or verbose ramblings with hidden secondary motives. Just solid financial wisdom, distilled.
Read it, and then thank him.
Thank you Jim!

Perfect Info for an OMS1
I loved how straightforward it was. It has a whole section on medical students and what they should be doing while in medschool. It also gives me a lot of things to be aware of, and watch out for as I progress down the path of becoming a physician.

Basic and insulting
Very basic information. The accusation that all financial advisors are crooks but all doctors are just trying to help people is hubris bs and insulting.
