How I Invest as a Nurse Practitioner: My Strategy for Financial Freedom

In this video, I share my personal investment strategies as a nurse practitioner living in the Bay Area. I discuss the importance of building automated systems over picking stocks and timing the market. I outline the three main investment accounts that I use: my employer-sponsored 403(b), a Roth IRA, and a taxable brokerage account. I also touch on the benefits of each account and how they fit into my overall financial plan. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of consistency over perfection in investing and share how my approach has given me financial flexibility and freedom. Stick around for the next episode where I'll discuss how to increase your income without working more shifts!
