Talking About Finances With Your Partner

Did you know that when it comes to investing, keeping it simple often leads to better returns? Keeping it simple is not just my or Lisha’s opinion - studies show that this is a more effective, sustainable way to go about investing. Why? Because it turns out that as humans, we don't like as many choices as we think we do. We take action less often when we feel overwhelmed with choices. Just think of the last time you asked your partner where they wanted to go for dinner… In fact, in a jam (yes, jam) display study on consumer habits, a display case with 24 varieties of jam received more customer traffic but ten times fewer sales than a display case featuring only 6 jams. When we have too many choices, we often don’t choose at all. Also known as: analysis paralysis.  We love talking about the psychology of investing, so let’s dive into some of those principles and how simplicity can help you when it comes to real-life application.  In this episode, we discuss:Examples of analysis paralysis (7:25)  How Lisha operates psychologically when it comes to investing (10:06)   A great way to start when you’re new to investing (15:49)   Looking for a comprehensive financial platform for doctors, by doctors that will help you to secure your financial future?  Make sure to check out HelloAttend.com

3 Big Updates On Student Loans

Did you know that it's possible to make great financial progress while you spend money on things you enjoy? Yep, you read that right. It might be surprising to hear this in the financial space, but you worked hard to get to where you are. You deserve to enjoy some of the spoils and riches of all of that work that you put in to go through college, medical school, and residency. In the physician finance blogosphere, there are financial gurus that are out there who paint a dichotomous picture of only two possible money management options. Either you eat ramen for five years after you finish residency so you can meet your financial goals. Or you fall into the camp of YOLO hedonism, living it up, spending every dime and not saving anything. This black-and-white approach skips the view that you can do a little bit of both. You can be financially responsible for those first three to five years and for every year after that. AND, at the same time, you can actually enjoy life. It’s about finding balance.

Maybe you're starting your intern year and you're considering investing as one of your steps in that journey. As July approaches, maybe you’re transitioning as a trainee from an institution or to a new job, you might be asking yourself, “Should I be investing in pre-tax vs Roth?”  It’s a really interesting topic and an important question, especially as interest rates and inflation changes.  When someone slides that 401k or that 403b form in front of you, it often gives you the option to choose whether you want to invest in a traditional pre-tax method where the money is taken out of your paycheck before it ever gets taxed. Or do you want it to get taxed immediately, and then get invested knowing that it'll never get taxed again in the future?  As it's been a couple of years since we tackled pre-tax versus Roth on this show, that’s what we’re diving into in this episode. We'll help you figure out the answers to these questions, or at least help you to make a more informed decision.  Looking for a comprehensive financial platform for doctors, by doctors that will help you to secure your financial future?  Make sure to check out HelloAttend.com

How to Save More Money

It often pays to work smarter, not harder, yet many doctors put in more and more hours to make more money in medicine. But is working more always a good idea? I think there are pros and cons to working more shifts in medicine. Personal finance is personal, and you have to assess whether you feel you’re being compensated fairly for the time and energy you put into your work.  If you’re not, you might be working for diminishing returns. Yes, you have expenses to cover, but remember the importance of work life balance, especially as it pertains to physician burnout.

The Diminishing Return of Working More

With inflation and interest rates being what they are, one of the most common questions that we get nowadays is, “Should I invest or pay off debt? What should I be doing with my money?” Everywhere in medicine, inflation has an impact. One of the common areas where this naturally happens a lot is in regards to reimbursement rates and income. Doctors realize, “Hey, I haven't gotten a substantial raise in five or ten years, maybe more. And yet, inflation in 2022 is 6-9%.” So when we face these unprecedented rates of inflation, it makes sense to ask, “Should I invest or pay off debt?” Let’s dive in by covering specific financial tasks that doctors need to take into consideration.

What To Do With Unexpected Money

Regardless of the source – whether it’s an inheritance, a tax refund, or a bonus at work – we end up with one question.

The Superpowers of a Taxable Brokerage Account

When it comes to doctors retiring early because of F.I.R.E. (financial independence retire early), there’s an inevitable argument made against it and why it’s ethically wrong for physicians to do. That argument says unless you practice medicine until the day you die, it's unacceptable. Whether it’s citing a physician shortage that doesn’t really exist or feeling as though doctors shouldn’t retire early because we’re doing something good for society, some feel like we should give of our time, skills, and talents as long as possible, discounting the sacrifices that doctors have already made up until this point.  They don’t realize that a 30 year career is actually 40 based on the amount of hours most physicians work in a week. But… Why even have this conversation? Are doctors actually retiring early?  Doximity’s 2021 study found that 21.8% of physicians considered early retirement due to overwork. Around 25% of women physicians considered early retirement, and 40% of medical groups saw doctors retire early from their medical group. These numbers are not small.  So let’s explore some of the possibilities around F.I.R.E. for physicians that can make life feel more liveable and enjoyable again.  Disability Insurance for Docs: physicianfinancialservices.com  Looking to increase your financial literacy?  Check out Medical Degree Financial University → MDFU.Co  2021 Doximity Early Compensation Report

So let’s explore some of the possibilities around F.I.R.E. for physicians that can make life feel more liveable and enjoyable again.  Disability Insurance for Docs: <a href="http://physicianfinancialservices.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">physicianfinancialservices.com</a> Looking to increase your financial literacy?  Check out Medical Degree Financial University → <a href="http://MDFU.Co" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MDFU.Co</a> <a href="https://c8y.doxcdn.com/image/upload/v1/Press%20Blog/Research%20Reports/Doximity-Compensation-Report-2021.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 2021 Doximity Early Compensation Report</a>

Is it wrong for doctors to retire early?

Physician disability insurance is something you have to get right. If you were to learn only one thing from me, this might be the one thing that I would want you to know. It’s the reason that Money Meets Medicine exists, and why I started The Physician Philosopher.  Your most important financial asset is your ability to earn an income. You work hard to get your training protecting this asset, and your ability to accumulate an income and everything else we teach you doesn't matter if you don't make money first. This is why physician disability insurance is so important.  But there are a lot of misconceptions about disability insurance, and our goal here is to clear some of that up.

The Most Important Financial Task for Doctors

What if I told you that maybe you shouldn't save for your kid's college education?  There are tons of questions we have to ask ourselves (not just as parents, but as investors) about the concept of covering our kid’s entire college education. Are we really getting the value from this investment? Maybe tuition is worth $100,000 dollars, but is it worth a quarter of a million dollars? And how much am I willing to contribute?  To me, it’s an obvious choice if it comes down to saving for your kid’s college education versus your own retirement (retirement all day), but it’s a choice that gives a lot of physician parents heartburn.  Good news, though: there are more than just these two options.

Should You Save for Your Kid’s College Education?

Ryan and Jimmy are such down to earth, relatable people, and provide such great information! I love being able to listen to both a physician’s and financial advisor’s point of view on the same podcast. I’ve had many “aha” moments while listening to these guys talk about not just money, but also life/career. Keep up the great work!
