WCI #204: First Year of Retirement with Physician on Fire

Physician on Fire has been retired from medicine for a year and half. Granted the pandemic kind of screwed up a lot of his plans, but we can get an idea of what this early retirement life looks like. See the full shownotes http://whitecoatinvestor.com/first-year-of-retirement-with-physician-on-fire-podcast-204 We discuss that loss of identity as a doctor and what he says he does for a living now. Does he miss work? Is he happier now? What are they doing about health care? How will they leave wealth to their children? We also talk about the psychology of changing from the accumulation phase to the withdrawal phase and what his asset allocation is now as well as what it would be like to return to practicing medicine. Many think about an early retirement. This episode will give you a picture of what it could look like for you. As a white coat, you have valuable knowledge. Various companies want that knowledge.
