MtoM #154: Psychiatrist Pays Off $460,000 in Student Loans and Finance 101: Rebalancing Your Portfolio

This Psychiatrist paid off a whopping $460,000 in only 2 1/2 years! How did he do it?  He picked up an extra job and worked as much as possible to bring in as much money as he could and ended up putting nearly $25,000 per month towards the debt! He made a handful of mistakes including over spending and stock picking before he learned that there was a better way! His financial awakening happened when a friend introduced him to the White Coat Investor Podcast. He shared that it is easy to make mistakes and it is okay to make mistakes. But consistency is key and even with some mistakes you too can do this! Stick around after the interview to learn about rebalancing your portfolio. If you’re like most doctors, nobody taught you anything about personal finance or investing during your undergrad, professional school, or residency.  And even though your family - and perhaps even your business - rely on you to be the Chief Financial Officer, you have never been given the tools to succeed.

MtoM #150: Physiatrist Gets Back to Broke and Finance 101: Term Life vs. Whole Life Insurance

This doc made it back to broke only one year out of training. He was diligent about tracking his spending since med school and he attributes much of his success to having a plan and sticking to it. He said he definitely felt the temptation of lifestyle creep once he started seeing his paychecks but reminding himself that sticking to the plan was the best thing he could do for himself and his future self helped him stick to it! His advice to you? Make a budget, be on the same page as your partner, max out your retirement savings and know that if you stick to the plan time will work in your favor. After the interview we will talk about the difference between term life insurance and whole life insurance for finance 101. We 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.
