The White Coat Investor

More often than not, even hard-working and the most critical-minded professionals fall into the trap of having to spend too much, leaving their bank accounts dry. More so, a great deal of them places their money on bad investments that they cannot merely pry themselves out of. And while these professionals have spent a great deal of their lives training under their specialization, making them forces that one cannot simply take lightly, a fact of the matter is, they lack financial literacy.
