Let’s rewind to four years ago when I was super confused and overwhelmed with the financial aspect of my practice. I knew I needed to be saving for retirement but didn’t know how to balance that need with other financial obligations. Luckily, I got connected with Ariel Ward and her team at Abacus Wealth. She’s here today to walk us through the ins and outs of financial planning and retirement savings for mental health practice owners. Here are just a few things that we talk about:

• Why savings for retirement is important
• Different options for retirement savings
• How much to save and when to start saving for retirement
• Investing startups like Robin Hood, Wealthfront, and Betterment

Cool Things Mentioned

• The Psychology of Money book
