Amy Walls knows from her experience with the medical community that when a resident becomes a physician, it’s often accompanied by a significant increase in income – sometimes over 500%. This increase in revenue necessitates some financial planning – and today, we cover 5 items every new doctor should do.
- Shore up or build a cash reserve
- Have a plan for student loan debt and know the consequences of that plan
- Obtain disability and life insurance policies.
- Start saving for retirement/know how much you need to save
- Start working on other financial goals.
Doctors are notoriously bad at saving and financial planning. Like patients who find them, docs should seek out an expert to help.
