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.
Today Katherine Vessenes is joined by Ben Kirchner as they financial planning FOMO.
You may have heard the buzz surrounding developments with SECURE Act 2.0. Today, we're diving into the new IRS rules that would allow rolling over 529 plans into a Roth IRA. Let’s unravel this news and determine if it's a viable option for you.
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.
Today’s topic is something you’ve likely heard about in the news quite a bit: inflation. Inflation occurs when the prices of goods and services increase steadily over time. This results in consumers buying fewer of these goods and services with every dollar they have saved. Can we predict it? How do we prepare for it? How can we rest at night with so little control over it?
Graduation is just around the corner for many residents and fellows. Over the many years we’ve been helping doctors, we have identified 7 key points they should consider when transitioning to an attending position. These crucial points will protect their financial goals now and in the future. Today we will discuss these steps, and why they are so important.
Through the years, Katherine has seen certain mistakes repeated among physicians and dentists. To better understand and then correct these mistakes, Katherine joins Dr. Kristy McAteer, from Brown University, to discuss the biggest blunders she sees, and how to take actionable steps to correct them.
Special guest Josh Lantz, CRPC®, Chief Investment Officer and Financial Advisor, joins Katherine Vessenes, JD, CFP® in today’s podcast about tax-efficient investing. We call Josh “our investment guru” around the office which is why we are excited to have him here today! With tax season upon us, you may be wondering what you could do differently to minimize taxes in retirement. Today’s episode is all about how we do this for our clients using 3 tax-efficient strategies. When it comes to investing, it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep. We want to help you plan, protect and prosper.
At the end of each year, we take time to reflect on what we’ve done over the past twelve months and what we want to do better next year. One of the most common New Year’s Resolutions we see doctors make: Save more money. Whether the funds are for a big trip, education, paying off debt, retirement or just in general, we’ll cover some of the best ways to save a little extra this upcoming year.
Doctors, when it comes down to it, retirement is likely going to be the most expensive purchase of your lives. As a business that deals directly with doctors’ personal financial concerns, we get many questions: “Will I have enough money to retire?”, “When will I run out?”, etc. But one question we don’t get very often, that should be asked is: “Is my money positioned in the right type of accounts?” Today we will discuss the different types of retirement accounts, their tax consequences, and how to get the most out of them when it really matters.
