MtoM #243: Locums Psychiatrist Crushes Student Loans in 4 Years and Finance 101: How Dental Insurance Works

Today we are talking with a full time locums doc who has paid off his student loans. He is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and tackled about $400,000 in only 4 years. He refinanced a couple of times and he said it is debatable if that was the right choice, but at the end of the day he just made big payments and poured in everything he could until the loans were done. He said as a locums doc his income is fairly variable so he always has a big chunk of cash available for taxes and expenses and he used that money to wipe out the last of his loans. Despite putting so much towards his loans he has also saved more than half a million dollars and also bought a new car with cash. He also provided a lot of great information about being a locums doc. After the interview we are talking about how dental insurance works for Finance 101.

There has been a lot of concern around student loans and what impact the new legislation will have. Today we bring on Andrew Paulson of https://StudentLoanAdvice.com to explain what he knows so far about what to expect from the changes. Dr. Dahle walks through different elements of the bill.

MtoM #231: Dual Doc Couple Saves $100K for Retirement During Residency and Finance 101: Plan Documents for Employer-Provided Retirement Accounts

This dual doc couple has a very impressive milestone today. They have saved $100,000 towards retirement during residency. They wanted to give themselves more compounding interest time and not wait until they were attendings. This doc also shared about their student loan journey. They met with Andrew at StudentLoanAdvice.com and got a plan in place early. They decided that they did not want to go for PSLF so before they started residency they refinanced their loans. They took a risk to refinance when their loans were at 0% but they locked in sub 3% and are now feeling very good about their decision. Then, for Finance 101 we are talking about plan documents for employer provided retirement accounts. Many investors know about the historic returns, tax advantages, and wealth-building opportunities of commercial real estate investing, but they're confused about where to start or who to trust. Wellings Capital has created a diversified fund that offers investors an easy on-ramp to access carefully vetted commercial real estate operators and opportunities. Their goal is to provide income, growth, and tax benefits with limited downside risk. With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors get a stake in a portfolio of self-storage, manufactured housing, RV parks, industrial properties, and more.

Ep 427WCI #427: Dealing with a Disability Claim with Attorney Ben Glass

Today we are talking with Ben Glass, an attorney on our recommended list who helps docs make successful disability claims. Ben talks about what makes for a strong claim, when you might need to get an attorney involved, what mistakes he has seen docs make in the claims process and what he wishes docs knew if they think they might be facing a disability event. Disability Insurance is so important and we hope this episode helps you understand why. Getting quality disability and life insurance should be the first financial chore for a doctor to complete. Most docs don't have the ideal policy for their gender, specialty, state, or health status and 1 in 7 doctors get disabled at some point during their career. Because these policies can only be purchased through brokers, we have put together a list of vetted agents who are experienced with working with the specific needs of medical professionals and who have your best interest at heart. If you have questions about insurance and what kind of policies would be the best fit for you, check out our insurance recommended list at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/insurance and feel the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the optimal policy in place.

Ep 423WCI #423: Rollovers, Roth, and Investing

Today we are back to our most asked about topic: Roth. We answer a question about rollovers, then we talk about Mega Backdoor Roth and then the regular backdoor Roth and the pro rata rule. We then switch gears and talk about high yield dividend funds and answer a question about asset allocation and asset location. We end the episode talking about what to do if you are averse to the S&P500 including Coinbase. 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. If you need help updating your financial plan or just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-advisors. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help. The White Coat Investor has been helping doctors with their money since 2011.

Today we are talking with a family doc and a physical therapist who have paid off all of their student loans just a few years out of training.

They are both extremely debt averse and just wanted to pay their loans off quickly even if they could have gotten forgiveness over time. Their advice to you is to really negotiate your contract, financially educate yourself and have a plan. After the interview we are talking about debt vs investing for Finance 101.
