it is necessary to develop your personal capital in order to support your long term PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL goals. Capital development -both personal and professional- is a long-term game, so let’s consider some things you can to realize your goals as you progress through career and life.
Considering your personal and professional goals what personal capital will you need to build in order to support the career and life you seek? What level of financial capital will you need to develop in order to support your plans? How can you increase the amount of capital you have to invest? And, generally speaking, what sort of investments seem most feasible to you?
In answering this general question above, please specifically explore retirement options you have available to you in your current workplace, hospital. Most importantly, what % of your investments will your employer ‘match’ and in what sort of retirement plan (403b, 401k, mandatory RP, etc)? This, in my estimation, is a bare minimum retirement investment that everyone should make if at all possible. Let’s consider this a starting place for a retirement investment… but what other (if any) retirement and/or personal investments will you need to make to bring your goals to fruition? Will you choose to invest pre-tax or post-tax earnings?
Generally speaking, you should seek to answer the essential question: What sort of capital will I need to pursue my goals and how will I go about strategically developing that capital?
