Why Many Doctors Live Paycheck to Paycheck


Listen Later

Physicians earning $400K are living paycheck to paycheck—and an 18th-century psychology trap is why. 

Roughly 30% of doctors over 60 don't have $1M in net worth, even counting their home. Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner unpack the behavioral-finance forces—the Diderot Effect, lifestyle creep, and leverage—that quietly erode physician wealth, and the simple framework that lets you spend guilt-free while still building real options.
