Summary
This Canadian family doc and her social worker partner applied to be a guest on the show when they achieved $0 net worth. But since applying they paid off all their student loans. They've had a savings rate of 60-70%! Tracking their lifestyle inflation percentage, concrete spending/savings goals and monthly financial meetings together have catapulted them to their goals. Here are some ideas for working together with your partner on your finances. https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/7-ways-to-get-your-partner-on-board-financially/
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.
