About this Episode
Three physicians. Three very different financial questions. In this episode, we unpack real scenarios from high-income earners navigating career growth, variable income, and burnout.
First, we address retirement planning for locum tenens physicians—what options exist when there’s no employer-sponsored plan?
Next, we talk strategy with a private practice physician whose income varies with revenue share.
Finally, we hear from a physician feeling the effects of burnout. With significant assets already saved, she’s asking a question many mid-career professionals face: Can I afford to slow down? We explore how to balance lifestyle changes with long-term financial independence.
In this week’s special segment “Advisor Red Flags," we challenge the common advice that “maxing out your 401(k) is enough."
