Financial Clarity for Doctors

What if You Need to Decrease Savings?


Listen Later

In this episode, Corey and Rachelle talk about when and how to potentially decrease your savings.  We spend a lot of time talking about how to save more over time, but sometimes life happens and you may need to make some adjustments in the other direction.  Listen to the episode to learn more about how to thing strategically about making these adjustments.

Thoughts to consider from this episode:

  • Assess why cash flow is tight: New baby?  New mortgage?  Is this a temporary change?
  • Go back to your goals and move things around if needed. Don’t lose sight of what’s important to you.
  • Review your spending to see if you can make any changes there BEFORE reducing savings. Can you potentially shift some short-term savings to long-term savings now?
  • If you ultimately decide you need to decrease savings, start with non-qualified accounts. Try to keep maxing out retirement plans as much as possible.
  • Listen to the full episode to hear more about how to implement these strategies in your own plan.  If you do find yourself in a position where you need to decrease savings, try to start increasing those savings again as soon as possible.
