Listen Later

In Episode 50 of Doctor’s Wealth and Wellness, host Norm Wright celebrates the podcast’s milestone by focusing on financial milestones for physicians, emphasizing the importance of tracking progress to stay motivated amidst unique challenges like malpractice risks and student loans. The episode outlines three key milestones: building a six-month emergency fund ($50,000–$100,000) to weather financial storms, paying off high-interest debt like student loans to save significant interest, and reaching $1 million in retirement savings for financial independence. Each milestone includes actionable steps, such as automating savings transfers, exploring loan refinancing, or maxing out 401(k) contributions ($70,000 in 2025), with a reminder to work with a CFP. Norm challenges listeners to take one step toward a milestone and celebrate a past financial win, reinforcing the podcast’s theme of small, compounding actions for long-term success. Examples in this episode are hypothetical and not representative of a specific individual.
