20/20 Money Episode # 104 – 5 Scary Financial Decisions Optometrists Make That Keep Them Broke

November 2, 2020

It’s the weekend after Halloween, and while we’re all coming down from the sugar high we earned by stealing our kids’ candy (no judgement here, I do it at a felony-level rate) I thought I’d cover 5 scary financial decisions that optometrists make that can prevent them from becoming wealthy or keep them broke. In this episode I highlight 5 areas where we’ve seen optometrists make mistakes with both their money and their time and the implications of making those decisions.
