EP 61: Doctors, Dating, & Divorce

You have spent 6-8 years becoming an ER Doc. You’ve taken on significant debt. You’ve sacrificed your social life. Your time. Sleep. All of this magnifies the emotions involved in dealing with money. And somewhere along the way, another party may have entered the picture: a significant other. They, too, have their own complex relationship with money. For that reason, many believe mixing love and money is a recipe for disaster. But are they right?
