As optometrists and optometry students, we are bombarded with ways to manage our practice or future practice. There is even an entire course dedicated to practice management in optometry school and we hear time and again that owning your own practice is the best way to make money. This book is about the other side to optometry and personal finance – what to do with your money if being a private practice owner is just not down the foreseeable pipeline at the moment, or you're a new grad but you still want to use your hard earned and learned money to be financially responsible, someday retire comfortably or even be financially independent.
