In today’s episode, we talk with Nikki Ramskill, The Female Money Doc! She is the first ever doctor in the U.K. to be blogging about money. Listen in as she shares how she got into debt in the first place and why she feels it is important to share what she has learned about debt freedom, budgeting and investing for your future. She also tells us all about the differences between medical training in the U.K. versus the U.S. and how those differences can affect your financial future.

  • Why she started the blog after getting into debt and realizing she needed to get her finances in order.
  • Why she feels that the space for women talking about finance is opening up and important to our lives.
  • How retirement savings works in the U.K. including mandatory pensions.
  • How much medical school and training for physicians costs in the U.K. and how their repayment system works.
  • What the differences are between medical training in the U.K. versus the U.S.

Nikki Ramskill is a U.K. based physician who has a special interest in how money affects her patients both mentally and physically.
