How financially literate are physicians? White Coat Investor just celebrated our 10 year anniversary of providing personal finance and investing information to our colleagues. How have we done? In this episode we talk with the chief experience officer at Laurel Road https://whitecoatinvestor.com/laurelroad about the physician literacy survey we did together. We discuss how our peers rate their financial literacy, when they plan to retire, what they are investing in, how much they are saving, and more. How do you compare to your peers? 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.

Would the White Coat Investor exist if I had only interacted with good financial professionals, and not multiple ones that ripped us off and caused me to educate myself and take control of our finances? Probably not. https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/about/ So we have that terrible advisor to thank for this podcast which is all about your questions. We discuss the future of home prices in the U.S. We talk about investing in actively managed funds, whether there is a time that is a good idea with stocks or bonds. One of the good guys in the financial services industry joins us to answer questions on whether you should use bitcoins hyper volatility to time the market and make more money and if social index fund investing is a good way to invest. Whatever your investing plan says to do, it must all start with a high savings rate. We recommend 20% and tell you why in this episode. 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.
