MtoM #174: VA Physician Pays Off Student Loans and Becomes a Millionaire in 5 Years and Finance 101: False Diversification
This VA emergency doc has paid off $370,000 in student loans in only 5 years! Not only that but he and his wife are already millionaires. He said it is impossible to overstate how good it feels to have paid off those student loans. They have also put a huge percentage of their income towards building wealth. They are currently completely debt free and cruising towards financial independence. After the interview we will be talking about what false diversification means for Finance 101. I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price.
