Dr. Dev Raga is a Melbourne-based podcaster and GP who discusses common financial topics. His podcast titled ‘Dev Raga Personal Finance’ discusses topics ranging from saving, investing, debt reduction, and personal insurance.
The final episode to wrap up 2021 has been carefully chosen. Over the short course of my career in medicine so far, I have pondered the ongoing inequities we see within our medical colleagues. I noticed the disparity in socioeconomic standing and financial status between our Pākehā, versus our Māori and Pasifika colleagues. I noticed that even with all my privilege, as someone from an immigrant background whose parents could never finish their highschool education, it was miles harder to have a monetary safety net. I noticed that financial literacy was passed on in the tongues of dinner-table conversations and trust funds, setting friends and colleagues up for success before they even knew what 'savings' meant. I noticed that some doctors knew the meaning of 'investments' and 'property ladder' before they understood what welfare was.
So this week, I am releasing an episode with Dr. Dev Raga talking about as many things finance as we could within an hour. I wanted to use this platform for financially-savvy colleagues to be able to impart some wisdom so that we can try to reduce that gap we see. Realistically, that gap will always be there. Some of us will continue to lead privileged, financially safety-netted lives, while some of us will have to use our single-income to feed our extended whānau and pay off crippling debt. This breaks my heart, and I want to do everything to tautoko our whānau. I hope that perhaps while some of our pockets may be burning from Christmas presents (and while others may have not had the luxury of presents at all), this may help us start 2022 differently.
In this episode, we discuss strategies for saving, maximising your superannuation & Kiwisaver, basic investment strategies, and his financial resources.
