Hello,
I'm a cardiologist in my late 20s and living in Istanbul, Turkey. A couple of years ago when I finished school and started working, I got depressed because of two things:
With the money I earned, there was no way I could have a decent life with a house, nice car and vacations.
With the time I spent at hospital, I went through an existential crisis because most of my life was being spent there and I practically had very little time to myself for self improvement and hobbies.
Although my parents financially supported me along the way, I can't rely on them for all my life. And I was brought up with conventional slow lane ideas indoctrinated by my parents such as go to college, work hard, save money. But this just doesn't work, at least not anymore. At first I though of changing careers. I had several pilots as friends and they seem to love their jobs because they had more free time and earned quadruple times more than me. I even decided to go to flight school after I finish my studies, but I kind of doubt that because my age would be older then.
After a while I went erratic and started reading books on financial literacy with the first one being Rich Dad Poor Dad, then came many others.
I've been reading Millionare Fast Lane for some time now and in my opinion it's the most precise and detailed among all them. First it tells us what's faulty about the system, then throughout fast lane chapters it gives advice on how to beat that system. I still haven't finished the book but it's slowly started to shape my mind.
I'm going to be honest, I'm not a people lover. I mostly love people in my inner circle like friends and family and believe most people are inherently exploitive in nature. And that makes one of the core values in the book -serve millions to make millions- difficult for me.
But I so want to be financially free and spare myself lots of time in the future to spend on my self improvement and spend with my loved ones. Not in an old hospital, sulky and unsatisfied with my life which would be the greatest tragedy, honestly.
Would you recommend me getting skills unrelated to my occupation and profiting off them or sticking to my job and using it as a basis of my business?
Thanks a bunch!
