He also stresses the importance of being aware of transactional friction – the small but significant costs associated with frequent and impulsive spending – and how to sidestep these pitfalls for smarter financial choices.

Embracing a frugal lifestyle, like during  student years, is another key theme Leland touches on, explaining how it can lead to rapid debt reduction and a faster accumulation of wealth. He encourages listeners to consider opening and regularly contributing to a Roth IRA early in their careers to enjoy the benefits of tax-free gains and to build a robust retirement fund.

This episode is packed with cultivating a financially savvy mindset, making prudent investment choices, and the role of discipline in achieving long-term financial health. Whether you're just starting out in healthcare or looking to refine your financial strategy, Leland’s guidance is sure to be an invaluable asset.

🔑 In this episode, you will learn:

• Saving and investing early in your career can have a significant impact on long-term financial success.
• Cutting out unnecessary expenses and adopting a frugal mindset can help individuals save more money.
• Leveraging low-cost, passively managed index funds can be a smart investment strategy for long-term growth
