Backdoor Roth IRAs and Why You Should Be Funding Them.

If you have no idea what a Backdoor Roth IRA is, listen to this podcast. Seriously. You need to know what it is.

Most physicians should be using a personal and spousal Backdoor Roth IRA.  Not only does this provide an additional $5,500 each ($6,500 each if you and your spouse are over 50) of tax-protected and (in most states) asset protected space, but it allows for more tax diversification in retirement. That allows you to determine your own tax rate as a retiree by deciding how much to take from tax-deferred accounts and how much from Roth accounts.

In this episode Dr. Dahle also answers listeners' questions about using a physician mortgage loan and prioritizing a mortgage versus paying off debt.

Disability Insurance for High Income Earners: Understand these critical steps to purchasing disability insurance.

A medical resident’s most valuable financial asset is his future earnings ability, which is at serious risk of loss due to a personal disability. Dr Dahle outlines critical steps to purchasing disability insurance correctly in this podcast.

Disability insurance is FAR more complicated than term life insurance, and while it may not require a ton of time to understand and purchase a policy, it will require more self-education and a lot more decisions to be made. This episode will further your education and walk you through some of those decisions.

Dr. Dahle also answers questions from readers about when is the cheapest time to buy disability insurance and whether or not you should borrow money to buy disability and life insurance during residency.
