Today we are chatting with a radiologist who has received PSLF. She learned about PSLF back in 2009. She knew she wanted to go into academics so she planned from the beginning to go for PSLF. She knew the ins and outs of the program and maximized keeping her payments low and benefitted from the COVID student loan freeze. She dutifully saved up a PSLF side fun incase something happened and her loans were not forgiven. Luckily that did not happen and she now has a big chunk of money in there. As a highly debt averse person she is now considering turning that fund into a 'saving-for-a-home fund' in hopes to be able to pay cash for their first home. After the interview stick around for a discussion about charitable giving for Finance 101.

We are bringing on two different docs who tell their stories of finding themselves in situations that required using their disability insurance. We then chat with friend of WCI and founder of Doc Insure, Matt Wiggins. He is an expert on DI and really helps to answer questions and a paint a picture of why doctors and other high income professionals need to get this insurance in place.

Today we are talking to a financial planner who has become a millionaire. This planner initially planned on going to dental school but changed his mind after getting accepted into a few schools and decided to pursue a career in finance. He shares some of his failures and some of his successes that we think will inspire you to grow your wealth. After the interview we will be talking about overfunded 529s for Finance 101.

Getting quality disability and life insurance should be the first financial chore for a doctor to complete. Most docs don't have the ideal policy for their gender, specialty, state, or health status and 1 in 7 doctors get disabled at some point during their career. Because these policies can only be purchased through brokers, we have put together a list of vetted agents who are experienced with working with the specific needs of medical professionals and who have your best interest at heart. If you have questions about insurance and what kind of policies would be the best fit for you, check out our insurance recommended list at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/insurance and feel the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the optimal policy in place. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
