A listener asked, "how would you reset the whole retirement account system in this country to make more sense for both the government and the citizens?" In this episode we dive into what changes we would make if we could in that system, simplifying taxes, separating the retirement accounts from employment, and creating a sort of pension plan bigger than social security. We also answer your questions about caps on 401(k) contributions, small business 401(k)s, social security, annuities, tax deferred vs Roth contributions, C shares and A shares, and contributing to your spouse's 401(k).

There is value in persistence. Even if you do not have the highest income, if you persistently save a significant percentage of it and invest it in a reasonable way, eventually it grows to be quite a sum of money, and you will free from the need to work for your money. A typical rule for financial independence is when you can live on 4% of your nest egg. Learn how to reach financial independence and retire early here: https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/the-fire-movement/

In this episode we answer your questions about old retirement accounts. What do you do with those accounts? How do you move an old 401(k) to a different custodian? Where do you save if your new employer doesn't offer a retirement plan? We also answer your questions about purchasing homes, emergency funds, laser funds, crypto savings accounts and, that constant question, what do you do when you mess up your backdoor Roth IRA. See the full show notes here https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/old-retirement-accounts 

At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who’s just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you’re further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you. Hop over to our recommended tab to learn more about all of your mortgage and refinancing options at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/mortgage. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.

Dr. Hofmeister, our guest this episode, talks about veterinary medicine as well as the finances of veterinarians and really give us some insight into those who are physicians, but not human physicians. We discuss paying for veterinarian school and residency, salaries and debt to income ratio, pet insurance and end of life care, malpractice and PSLF for veterinarians. It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between these two professions. Veterinarians share many of the same financial and life challenges faced by physicians, dentists, and other medical professionals. Achieving financial independence is still possible though https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-independence-on-a-low-income/ even with a high student loan debt https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/veterinarian-student-loan-debt/ 

I estimate that 80% of doctors need, want, and should use a financial advisor and/or an investment manager. Some investment gurus such as Dr. William Bernstein think my estimate is way too low. At any rate, if you want to use an advisor temporarily or for your entire life, there is no reason to feel guilty about it—just make sure you are getting good advice at a fair price. If you need help updating your financial plan or just getting one in place, check out our list of recommended financial advisors at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-advisors. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
