As pharmacists, we are responsible for ensuring that our patients receive the medications they need to maintain their health and wellbeing. But with increased cost of living and almost non-existent raises it can be difficult to budget effectively and save for the future. 

This was the case for my coworker Jody who struggled to balance income and expenses. She was constantly worried about her credit card bill and felt like they were barely getting by. 

But when I started working as her financial coach, we worked together to create a budget that was tailored to Jody’s unique situation. By taking a close look at her income and expenses, we found multiple areas for improvement. 

For example she was spending way more money eating out than she thought but it was something she really enjoyed. So we set up a spending Stack just for that so it didn’t get out of control. That extra money could now be used for other categories she was neglecting. 

In addition to these changes we found hundreds of dollars she didn’t know she was spending each month. 

As a result of these changes, she was able to start saving for the future and pay off her debts more aggressively. Jody felt more in control of her finances and was able to focus on providing the best possible care for their patients and more time stress-free with their family. 

Working with a financial coach can be incredibly beneficial for pharmacists who are struggling to manage their finances. By creating a customized budget and identifying areas for improvement Jody took control of her money and aligned to her financial goals.
