WCI #406: iBonds, Asset Pricing and Other Investing Questions Feb 13, 2025

Show notes

Today we are getting into some investing questions. We start off with a discussion around iBonds and if they are still a worth while investment or if it might be time to let them go. We also discuss ASC investment and buffer assets and what those both are. We talk about how to make asset allocation decisions when you have access to some unique investments and wrap up with a discussion around stock performance when you have a very long investing time horizon.

Show notes

We start off answering questions from some military docs about the TSP fund now that it allows Roth conversions and contributions. We then talk about indemnification clauses. Dr. Dahle asked our friend Kyle Claussen from Resolve to come on and educate us and answer this question. Indemnification clauses can be problematic for docs and it is worth really understanding them. We wrap up by answering questions about debt pay off. The first is about what happens when you try to make an extra student loan payment, next we talk about the best way to pay off a practice loan and then discuss if it is a good idea and if it is even possible to cash flow your advanced education.

His next goal is aggressively paying off his student loans as soon as he is out of training.

MtoM #206: Urologist Becomes a Millionaire and Finance 101: Changing Your Family Tree Jan 20, 2025

Show notes

This doc has become a millionaire just 4 years out of training. He comes from a two doc family who saved up enough to cover the cost of under grad and medical school. Getting out of training with no debt made a massive impact on his financial future. He expressed a huge amount of gratitude. He also said he was not financially literate and did not really learn about finances until he picked up the WCI book during residency. Between the help from his parents and becoming financially literate he was able to hit the ground running and start building his wealth. His big advice to you is before you get a paycheck, have a plan for it. His next goal is to celebrate his upcoming wedding and then to start saving for house, which is no small goal in New York City where he lives. Stick around after the interview to talk about changing your family tree for Finance 101.

Show notes

This ER doc is back to broke only one year out of training. He decided to focus on investing and growing wealth instead of tackling his student loans. He refinanced before covid and got his loans locked in at a 2 1/2 percent interest rate, so he knew he could make more in the market. But don't worry he will have those loans paid off in only another 4 years. He is crushing the savings rate and will be a millionaire in no time. After the interview we will be talking about rollovers for Finance 101.
