Summary
This dentist just recently got back to broke! He finished training with a net worth of negative $510K. 5 years later they have reached a net worth of $40K. Consistently chipping away at your debt and managing your finances pays off. Make a plan early and track your financial goals with these four measurements. https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/track-your-financial-goals-with-these-four-measurements/
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.
