We also dive into the listener questions that came in while we were rafting the Grand Canyon. Student loans are on more people's minds lately. Should you refinance your student loans now? Can you invest student loan money in retirement accounts? We discuss some physician specific topics like how to choose a specialty and some non physician specific questions like the difference between being compensated by SARs vs RSUs. Lastly we answer important questions like what percentage of your income you should be saving towards retirement and how to deal with inflation and your investing portfolio.

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.
