Money 101 | Dr. Alice Barker (@thisvetcan)

Money and financial knowledge are central to life in general, not just as a vet, yet it’s something most people are never properly taught how to manage or even feel confident talking about.

In this episode of Current Vet, Dr. Lottie is joined by Dr. Alice Barker (@thisvetcan), a qualified vet and financial expert, to break down everything vet students and new grads need to know about money. From salaries and negotiation to budgeting, debt, investing, and pensions, this episode is designed to make finances feel clearer, calmer, and far less intimidating.

This episode is for educational purposes only and does not constitute personalised financial advice. Everyone’s financial situation, goals, and circumstances are different. The information shared is intended to improve general understanding and confidence around money, not to provide a personal financial plan.
