Consumer finance primer recommendation

In this episode we pick the brain of Dr Ken who is a retired GP and part of the original FI movement. He has been a clinician and a patient investor over 50 years and has built a large portfolio. We discuss his medical and financial journey, and touch on some valuable lessons along the way. I also ask him about the controversial Div 296 tax and have his take on it, as he will be affected by that tax. This one should not be missed.
