Episode Summary

In this episode, Dr. Latifat breaks down one of the most common money questions high-earning women physicians ask: “Should I pay for a financial advisor?”

Here’s the honest truth — most people are paying thousands of dollars every year for work they could easily automate themselves. Data shows that a simple, low-cost index fund strategy (think Boglehead-style investing) often performs just as well as many actively managed portfolios — minus the hefty fees.

But this isn’t about villainizing financial advisors. It’s about empowering you to understand what you’re paying for and making sure you’re actually getting value in return.

If your financial advisor is helping you strategize, optimize, and grow beyond what you could do on your own — that’s worth exploring.
If not? It may be time to reclaim that money and redirect it toward your own wealth-building goals.

🩺 You’ll Learn:

  • Why “boring” automated investing often outperforms high-fee strategies
  • The real difference between investing with confidence and outsourcing without clarity
  • When a financial advisor is actually worth it — and when they’re not
  • How Dr. Latifat went from –$200K to 7 figures using simple, automated money systems

🧠 Quote to Remember

“If your advisor isn’t adding clear, measurable value — you’re paying for the same work twice.”
