Indian doctors are top notch but sometimes it is this very quality of being of knowledgeable and intelligent in medicine and general affairs that make doctors commit a lot of financial mistakes. It normally takes a personal financial disaster, introspection or peer feedback that makes a doctor realize that he needs help. Doctors generally take a rudimentary or a product centric approach when it comes to making prudent choices about money. Very rarely does a doctor think of financial planning as investment planning or tax planning. This book is an attempt to help doctors understand the different areas of financial planning and to help doctors make smart and informed choices about money. Financial Literacy is a very important but most neglected area not just in schools but also in medical colleges. This lead to poor choices of loans, investments, insurance, tax planning instruments and faulty decisions. This book aspires to fill in this very gap of financial literacy and make doctors think.
