About Crispy Doc: I'm a financially independent emergency physician in my mid-40s, married with kids, living in coastal California.
My story of mid-career burnout in medicine was transformed by a financial literacy conversion experience. I pivoted from helpless to in control. I learned to manage my investments. I saved aggressively using smart strategies tailored to high-income professionals.
I write for newbie physicians and other high-income professionals who are motivated but anxious about tackling their finances. I want to provide you blueprints for financial success while helping you avoid the mistakes I made.
I also write for mid-career physicians at a significant personal crossroads (parenthood, burnout, divorce) ready to implement drastic changes that realign values with time. I want to share with you the tools that let me change the axis my life revolved around.

I created this blog to enlighten, educate, and entertain fellow physicians and other people who may have similar circumstances (high-income, late start, educational debt, etc…). My aim is to help those who want to help themselves and share some unique insights from the perspective of a practicing physician. I hope to leave you informed and inspired to look at life a little differently than you might have before.

I’m a financial independence warrior, extreme minimalist and bitcoin enthusiast (gasp). I reached financial independence through saving, investing and living the magical minimalist lifestyle. I now have the freedom to choose where and how I live my life with little to no concern for money and you can do it too. All it requires is some basic knowledge, a small push, some guts to go against the herd and viola, you are there.
