The Prudent Plastic Surgeon

For a long time (too long if you ask me), my finances did not fall in line with my values. Now, they do because I put in the work to make sure of it. I wanted to share with you five ways I align my finances with my values:

  1. I prioritize saving;
  2. I pay off debt aggressively;
