If you missed part one of this series where Katherine discussed base pay, bonuses, restrictions, arbitration, and general tips, you can listen or read more about it here. Today we’ll cover common benefits in doctor contracts and what can be negotiated.
Doctors, I'm sure you've looked at your employment contract and were probably taken aback with all the legal jargon. There are so many pages of information which can be so hard to understand. I find a lot of doctors, particularly young doctors, are exhausted and so burnt out that the first contract that comes their way, they just want to sign and be done with the pain.
The last few years before you hang up your stethoscope can be critical to a doctor's successful retirement. In this episode of More Money Minutes for Doctors, Katherine Vessenes, CEO and founder of MD Financial Advisors, covers the five things every doctor should do before handing in their resignation.
Many of our doctors are confused about Roth accounts, which ones they can have, and how they differ. In today’s podcast, Katherine Vessenes, CEO and founder of MD Financial Advisors, breaks down the differences between Roth IRAs and Roth 401ks and Roth 403bs. She highlights how they can work individually and together to help doctors feel more confident in their investments and retirement.
We’ve recently touched on down markets, inflation, and how to protect yourself from their effects. While we typically say down markets are a great time to invest in the stock market, we also want to share options on more conservative/stable investment options when the market is anything but. Government bonds are a low-risk way to invest with a consistent, guaranteed interest rate.
How will the state of our current geopolitical events impact your investments? It is nearly impossible to avoid the news and the speculation of what will come. While so much is uncertain, one thing we can prepare for is that our economy will most likely feel the effects of global unrest in the for of a market downturn.
Today, we’ll cover how we prepare, how we can take advantage of a down market, and share some statistics that might help you get to sleep at night.
Two items we talk about in every first meeting we have with doctors are: retirement, and financial independence. It’s common knowledge in the financial world that doctors already start at a disadvantage for retirement. By the time doctors are attending and able to start saving significant amounts toward retirement, other professionals have had a decade of retirement savings under their belt.
