As part of career guidance, Financial planning of life is one badly ignored aspect of young ophthalmologists with no discussion in undergraduate or past-graduate curriculum. Other common reasons are lack of time, knowledge and inclination to learn in practice due to fear factor. At the end of the course, all young and senior ophthalmologists will be able to select good quality stocks, Exchange Traded Funds, Direct Mutual funds, proper Term and Health insurance, avoid bad loans, take only good loans, trade in Paper Gold including SGB and know how to save tax legally. This will teach the importance of financial education to become self-reliant and give knowledge of the avenues of investment and wealth creation. The Wealthcon way aims to empower the medical fraternity to take control of the financial planning in their own hand rather than relying on agents and financial advisors. This way of Asset diversification will go a long way in making oneself "Atmanirbhar" and set retirement goals.
