April 30, 2025 Episode 153: How to Choose a Good Index Fund
Index fund investing is the best way to invest in the stock market. It has low fees, is tax efficent, and hands off while providing better returns over a 10 year period compared to 90% of actively managed mutual funds.
However, not all index funds are created equal. There are index funds that have relatively high expenses and high turnover leading to tax inefficiency. There are also index funds that don’t track the index they are following particularly well, leading to subpar returns.
Choosing Index Funds is easy at Vanguard, Fidelity, or Charles Schwab who provide generally good index funds. But what about your employer sponsored retirement account where you may not have access to Vanguard or Fidelity Funds? Tune in to this week’s episode to learn how to look for a good index fund for your portfolio.

April 23, 2025 Episode 152: Saving (and Investing) Rate for Retirement
You may have heard recommendations that range anywhere between 10% and 50% when it comes to how much of your income to save for retirement. I often recommend saving a min of 20% of gross income to physicians who plan to invest primarily in stock and bond index funds. How do you know what saving rate you need in your situation?
What it comes down to is how many years you save (and invest) for retirement prior to withdrawing from the portfolio to fund retirement and how large of a portfolio is necessary to support the level of spending you desire to have once you are retired. The other factor is how long of a retirement you are expecting, which is a bit variable since no one really knows at what age they will die. If you plan on working until you are 65, you probably don’t need to plan for a 40 year retirement but there is a possibility you could live to age 105.
In this episode, I first do some calculations at various savings rates based on a $350,000 income, which is around the current average income for a physician. I think discuss Wade Donald Plau’s research on Safe Savings Rates.
This is an episode where it may be helpful to read the information and look at the chart. You can find a blog version of this week's podcast episode at https://www.growyourwealthymindset.com/blog

April 09, 2025 Episode 150: Staying Invested Even When the Market is Falling
When you hear about a big drop in the stock market, do you feel uneasy? Do you consider selling your stocks or not investing any more money right now. That you’ll wait until the market starts to recover?
If that sounds like you, you need to listen to this podcast episode. I want to encourage you to stay invested. When you deviate from your investment plan due to the performance of the stock market, you are actually practicing market timing, which is a fool game.
In this episode, I explain why it’s so hard to time the market and why it’s better to stay invested, and keep investing according to your financial or investment plan. That was true even with the Great Depression. The big market drop came in 1929 but the stock market didn’t hit bit bottom until 1932. People who kept investing in 1930 and 1931 and didn’t wait until 1932 ended up with a much higher portfolio by 1942.

April 02, 2025 Episode 149: The 401(a): A Lesser Known Employer Sponsored Retirement Account
401(a) plans were established with the original tax code in 1954 and have actually been around longer than 401(k) or 403(b) plans. 401(a) plans are generally offered by government agencies, educational institutions and non-profit organizations. Employers can form multiple 401a plans that each have their own distinct eligibility criteria, contribution amounts, and vesting schedules. 401a plans can have mandatory or voluntary contributions. For those plans that require employees to participate, employers must also contribute to the plan for the benefit of the employee. An employer may offer both a 401(a) plan and 403(b) plan which each have separate contribution limits. Tune into this episode to learn more about 401(a) plans and how they differ from 403(b) and 401(k) plans.

March 26, 2025 Episode 148: The Alternative Min Tax
The alternative minimum tax, or AMT, was implemented in 1969 to ensure that all Americans pay their fair share of taxes, and particularly targeted high-income individuals who had a lot of tax deductions. It was originally design to catch those high-income individuals who paid little to no tax but unfortunately, it was not indexed for inflation until 2012. Over time, the AMT started affecting tax payers in middle-class households. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 passed under President Trump’s first term made significant changes to the AMT beginning with the 2018 tax year but that expire in 2025. Depending on what happens this year, we will likely see changes to the tax code. This could be a continuation of what was passed in 2017 or something new. This episode goes into the AMT before 2017, who it affects for 2025, and what could happen if the TCJA is not extended or replaced.

March 12, 2025 Episode 146: The How of Happiness Avoid Overthinking and Social Comparison
In the book, The How of Happiness, Dr. Sonja Lynbomirsky outlines 12 activities to increase overall happiness by shifting one's baseline. For 2025, each month will have an episode that talks about activities that can help increase happiness by adjusting that baseline upwards.

This month’s episode is about avoiding overthinking and social comparison. Tune in to learn about activities that research has shown to increase happiness.
In the book, overthinking is defined as thinking too much, needlessly, passively, endlessly and excessive pondering the meanings, causses, and consequence of your character, your feelings, and your problems. This podcast reviews 5 strategies to help stop overthinking
Social comparison is comparing yourself to others and is natural in our society. From a young age, we get compared to our fellow students in school, to our fellow teammates when playing sports, and possibly to our siblings by our parents/teachers/other adults. Social comparison can both be motivating and demoralizing. The key is to focus on the positive aspects.
