Panoramic Financial - Financial Advice For Physicians

Why High-Income Physicians Still Feel Financially Uncertain


Listen Later

Many physicians spend years focused on one financial goal: save as much as possible.

Max out the 401(k). Fund the Backdoor Roth IRA. Contribute to the HSA. Invest whatever is left over.

But eventually, the question changes.

It's no longer, "How much can I save?"

It's, "How much do I actually need to save?"

In this episode, Andrew McFadden of Panoramic Financial discusses one of the most common questions he hears from physicians:

"I'm saving a lot for retirement. Can I spend the rest?"

You'll learn why many high-income physicians continue operating from a scarcity mindset long after their income has increased, the common mistakes doctors make when determining how much to save, and a practical framework for balancing retirement savings with enjoying life today.

If you've ever wondered whether you're saving enough, saving too much, or simply looking for more confidence around your financial decisions, this episode is for you.
