In this episode of Milestones to Millionaire, we meet Chabely Rodriguez, a certified anesthesiologist assistant (CAA) who has built an impressive $850,000 net worth early in her career.

Chabely shares her financial journey, including the realities of working in anesthesia, how locums work has influenced her income strategy, and the steps she has taken to steadily build wealth.

We discuss how high-income healthcare professionals outside of medicine can still follow many of the same White Coat Investor principles, including maintaining a strong savings rate, avoiding lifestyle inflation, and creating a long-term investing plan.

Chabely also explains the strategy behind reaching this milestone and reflects on the lessons she has learned along the way. Her story highlights how consistent saving, intentional financial decisions, and a clear plan can lead to significant progress toward financial independence.

Whether you are a physician, anesthesia professional, or other high-income professional, this episode offers valuable insights into building wealth and staying focused on long-term financial goals.

One of the most underrated financial moves in medicine is working locum tenens. It pays significantly more on average, and you can work locums full time or on the side of your full time. When you work with CompHealth, the #1 staffing agency, they cover your housing and travel costs —which on top of higher pay, really adds up.

Locums also gives you more control of your career, allowing you to go where you want, when you want, with a schedule that works for you. It's the perfect way to get ahead financially while getting focused on what you love. Whether it's locum tenens or a regular permanent position, visit https://whitecoatinvestor.com/CompHealth and build your career your way with the power of CompHealth.
