Show Notes
Physicians are the most heavily marketed to earners in the country, and almost none of the marketing announces itself. Ryan spent over a decade running a fee only planning practice for physician families, and in this orientation episode he walks through how the pitches actually arrive, who is paid what when you say yes, and why the same advice keeps showing up from people who have never met each other. Insurance, the advice chair, the mortgage, the refinance button, the courses, the syndications, the signing bonus, and this show's own money path, all of it with the compensation named out loud.

The first attending paycheck changes everything, and this episode gives it an order. Ryan walks the new attending money waterfall, starting with the double up rule: live on twice your resident salary, cap it there, and let every dollar above that line flow down in a fixed order. The match, reserves, insurance, student loans, retirement accounts, then goals. Get the order right and the attending years get much simpler.
Diane has $4.3 million, zero debt, a paid-off house, and a 95 out of 100 on her Financial Health Assessment. It is the highest score we have ever given on this show.
Pay the mortgage off early, or keep it and invest the difference? Daniel Wrenne's first warning is about the advice itself: anyone who tells you to always pay it off is giving bad advice. A 3 percent mortgage from 2020 is one conversation. A 7 percent mortgage from last year is the exact opposite. We run the numbers, and the feelings, on both, after looking at the whole picture: tax shelters maxed, savings rate, the rate on the debt, and cash flow. Have a question?
