This dual physician couple has paid off over $700,000 of student debt only four years out of training. They are both family docs living in California. They had the great insight that when you choose to live in California you need to view your cost of living as your luxury item. How did they do this so quickly? They lived frugally, got rid of their expensive car and dove into tackling their debt with extreme focus. They feel liberated after getting rid of that debt and love the flexibility they now have.

MtoM #165: Pediatric Resident Gets Back to Broke and Finance 101: Mutual Funds

Today we are having our first ever full episode focused on lawyers. Our friend and lawyer, Chris Avery, joins Dr. Dahle to discuss education costs and processes for legal professionals, when and why what school you go to matters, what bimodal pay is and what it has to do with lawyers, what lawyers typically make, if there really is a difference with lawyer vs. doctor finance and so much more. Tax season is now nearly over, and it's usually when most doctors with 1099 income worry about having overpaid the IRS due to complex tax laws. With this in mind, Alexis Gallati, founder of Cerebral Tax Advisors and Cerebral Wealth Academy, recently launched "The Doctor’s 4-Week Guide to Smart Tax Planning," an online course specifically designed for medical professionals with side gigs and locum tenens. This course offers video lessons, live Q&As;, 1-on-1 sessions, worksheets, and templates. An important reminder: it will only be open for enrollment until April 30th.

WCI #361: Financial Pathways for Attorneys

This Orthopedist got started building his real estate portfolio while he was still a resident! Now after only 4 years he has a multi million dollar real estate empire. He said he began his journey by learning everything he possibly could about real estate and finances when he was in his second year of residency. Once he had the confidence he had the knowledge he needed he hit the ground running and hasn't looked back. After the interview we will talk about real estate professional status for Finance 101. At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A  physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who’s just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you’re further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you.
