“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
A Tale Of Two Cities tells the story of a French doctor's 18 year imprisonment in the Bastille and today we borrow it's famous opening lines as Dickens so accurately and accidentally provides the perfect assessment of the current federal student loan landscape for American doctors facing what can feel like the 10 year imprisonment of Public Student Loan Forgiveness.
Certified Student Loan Professionals Tyler Scott and Andrew Paulson take a look at the current landscape to provide insights and considerations for those worried about the status of the SAVE plan, the upcoming election, and the myriad variables that underlie navigating federal student loans in the fall of 2024.

Cindy was the first employee at White Coat and has been working here helping Dr. Dahle make WCI what it is for over 10 years. Her background is in social work and she and her husband have been working to pay down student debt and build wealth. She shares her story of tax bill shock as their income grew, boring but effective investing, and their excitement around getting rid of student loans. After the interview we are talking about health insurance in early retirement.

This hospitalist paid off $380,000 of student loans in only 3 years! She had a goal and a plan from the moment she completed training. She poured every cent she could into her debt while living like a resident. She shared that it is not complicated but it does take determination to do something like this. As she was riding her bike to work and skipping on buying the fancy new car her coworkers thought she was a little nuts. She also took advantage of the student loan freeze and saved roughly $40K a year in interest by continuing to pay down the debt during that time. After the interview we will be talking about Target Date Funds.

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.

We have an incredible and inspirational couple on today. These two cash flowed both his medical school and residency as well as her Doctorate of Nurse Practitioning. They were committed to doing whatever it took to get through training debt free. They bred dogs, lived rent free in exchange for renovating whatever home they were in, ate from their garden, worked as many shifts as possible and more. These two leaned on each other for support as they accomplished their goal. Now fresh out of training they already have a net worth of $1 million. After the interview we will be talking about high yield savings accounts for Finance 101.

This episode we interview prominent Boglehead published author Rick Van Ness. Rick has made a career of teaching financial literacy to the world. We review his ten principles for common sense investing as well as hear why Rick thinks bonds are worth investing in. He talks about his current passion, which we here at WCI understand, getting a financial plan in place. We discuss the importance of knowing what you value and making a plan that accounts for that.
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.
