Journal Club 9-25-20

Here's Journal Club 9/25/20! 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!

• We all know that when it comes to finances, it’s crucial that you and your partner be on the same page. Personally, I can say that having my spouse’s support has been hugely beneficial along our journey to financial freedom. This article from The Prudent Plastic Surgeon provides ways to work with your partner, along with numerous ways that a shared plan can benefit not only your finances, but your relationship as well. 
• I discuss real estate investing quite a bit on this blog. This usually applies to multi-family or single-family properties. But what about condos? Well, as Semi-Retired MD describes in this article, condos present a few unique considerations for the would-be investor. If you’ve ever considered buying one, this article tells you just what you need to know before investing. 
• As physicians, our cost of living varies wildly. In this article, Four Pillar Freedom details just how your geographic location can impact your finances–and your journey to financial freedom. Using everything from economic data to geographic comparisons, this article shows you just how to exploit your cost of living and make the best of it. 
• Sometimes, the journey to financial freedom can seem daunting. Sometimes, it can even seem exhausting. For moments like those, it can help to get some extra motivation. In this article from Wealthy Doc, you’ll be reminded why you began this journey in the first place, and it includes plenty of great reasons to keep going until you reach your goals. 

That’s it for this week! I hope Journal Club 9/25/20 was helpful to you.

Lastly, here's a little bit of motivation below. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
