Intro into Adulting as a Healthcare Professional

We exit academia and enter the workforce ready to establish ourselves as healthcare professionals. We have the entry-level knowledge and the soft skills that us our first job. We get our first paycheck and decide to treat ourselves to a fancy meal, a nice outfit, and a memorable night out. Then we realize we have student and car loans to pay, rent to come up with, a house to save for, and taxes to account for, and we feel the social pressure to invest but have no clue where to start.

This was my story, and it might be yours in the months to come.
