Here's Journal Club 3/4/22! Every week, I hold a JOURNAL CLUB. After filtering through the articles on the web, I present a few that impacted my life this week. Be safe and stay well!
- What do you think is the most straightforward and beneficial strategy for achieving financial independence? Hint: it's simpler than you think. The Physician on FIRE highlights this critical tip and discusses a few reasons why so many of us have a hard time building wealth in the article – 10 Reasons Doctors Spend Too Much Money.
- The fear of losing your cognitive ability as you age might feel real for many. However, if you notice, this doesn't seem to affect everyone. So, how do some people manage to keep their brains sharp and attentive well into their eighties and nineties? The author at The Doctor Weighs In shares easy and helpful tips to incorporate into your daily routine – How to Keep Your Brain Sharp as You Age.
- There are different ways to approach and achieve financial independence. Some prefer investing in tax-advantaged retirement accounts, whereas some opt for investing in real estate. Regardless of which strategy you choose, it's beneficial to understand both options and choose the one that aligns with your financial objectives. To help you decide the right fit for you, The Prudent Plastic Surgeon reviews and compares both options in the post – 401k vs Real Estate: Which Is Best?
- Over the last few years, “the US economy has seen major growth, resulting in an immensely richer place.” Mr. Money Mustache thinks it's not just a fluke and reflects on the economic growth and the subsequent inflation rate over the past decade in the article – Inflation – Should We Be Worried?
