In this episode of Money Meets Medicine, hosts Dr. Jimmy Turner and Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Justin Harvey tackle three listener questions from the Money Meets Medicine community. 1. Should residents pay extra on their student loans if they are in the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP)? 2. What are the financial considerations to make working part-time make sense? 3. If you are a parent (or plan to be), should you pay for your kid's college education? If you do, how can you make that work given the new federal student loan borrowing limits?Resources: Every doctor needs disability insurance.

On the Money Meets Medicine podcast, Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey discuss how common personal finance advice can be especially costly for physicians and outline six “bad advice” items. They warn that disability insurance company choice matters because applying with the wrong carrier can trigger denials that eliminate access to guaranteed standard issue policies; they also caution against waiting until late in training. They argue that saving 10–15% or just maxing a 401(k) is usually insufficient for doctors with delayed earnings and debt, suggesting higher savings rates based on retirement goals. They note student loan consolidation advice has changed under the One Big Beautiful Build Act and may limit repayment plan eligibility. They criticize “pay off all debt before investing,” explain why renting isn't necessarily “throwing money away,” and argue that asking if an advisor is a fiduciary is no longer reliable, favoring fee-only transparency.

Die Wall Street startet uneinheitlich in die neue Woche, wobei der Nasdaq mit einem Plus führt, während der Dow Jones nachgibt. Im Tech-Sektor richtet sich der Blick erneut auf den gigantischen Kapitalbedarf des KI-Booms. Nvidia reduziert zwar die direkte Absicherung für das geplante OpenAI-Rechenzentrum in Ohio von ursprünglich 250 auf rund 120 Milliarden US-Dollar, könnte über die Finanzierung von Chipkäufen aber weitere rund 350 Milliarden US-Dollar bereitstellen und damit insgesamt weiterhin für bis zu 470 Milliarden US-Dollar im Risiko stehen. Gleichzeitig erwägt Nvidia eine Investition von bis zu 3 Milliarden US-Dollar in den Rechenzentrumsentwickler SB Energy. Für Aufmerksamkeit sorgt außerdem Berkshire Hathaway, das seine Beteiligung an Google um fast 50 Millionen Aktien auf rund 106 Millionen Aktien erhöht hat – aktuell etwa 36 Milliarden US-Dollar wert und damit inzwischen die drittgrößte Aktienposition des Konzerns hinter Apple und American Express. PayPal profitiert von Berichten über Übernahmegespräche mit Stripe und Advent International, nachdem ein erstes Angebot von 60,50 US-Dollar je Aktie offenbar als zu niedrig abgelehnt wurde, während Piper Sandler das Kursziel auf 59 US-Dollar erhöht. Positiv bleibt auch die Stimmung bei Cybersecurity: Wells Fargo stuft Okta hoch und sieht eine zunehmende KI-getriebene Nachfrage, während die Kursziele für Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike und Zscaler angehoben werden. Belastend wirkt dagegen der Ölpreis, Brent steigt auf rund 89 US-Dollar, nachdem sich das Verhältnis zwischen den USA und Iran zuletzt wieder verschlechtert hat.

SpaceX priced at $135 a share, raised $75 billion, and hit an all-time high of $225 within days — then fell to $107. Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey CFP break down how index funds actually decide what gets included in the index, why the S&P 500 said no to SpaceX while CRSP and the Russell 1000 said yes, and what that means for the total stock market index fund in your 401(k). What you'll learn: Why an index fund doesn't pick stocks — it follows 3 rules: seasoning, profitability, and float How Nasdaq, Russell 1000, and CRSP cut IPO seasoning for SpaceX Why your money in an IPO often funds the private investors cashing out on the other side What Dimensional's 12-month IPO exclusion says about buying at the offering How to handle FOMO before Anthropic and OpenAI potentially go public Resources mentioned: Looking to lower your taxes?

Chris and Amy booked a last-minute week in Bora Bora that would have cost over $20,000, almost entirely on points. They break down how it came together, why they chose Bora Bora over Fiji, the Marriott award search quirk that hid available rooms, flying business class in both directions by mixing two airlines, and using card travel credits on the inter-island flights. Then, three nights in, they decided to abandon the deal and pay more to switch resorts. They compare and rank the major Bora Bora resorts, weigh points versus cash, and explain what makes French Polynesia one of the easiest long-haul trips from the West Coast.

28% of physicians say they don't earn enough for what their family needs. The lowest-paid specialty still makes $266,000. Medscape's 2026 physician compensation report surveyed roughly 6,000 doctors across 29+ specialties, and the numbers tell a stranger story than "doctors are underpaid." Average pay rose 3%, barely clearing inflation, and nine specialties were flat or down. Jimmy and Justin unpack what the data says about physician pay, negotiation, and the 40% side-gig statistic. What you'll learn: Why primary care averaged $298K and specialists $417K — and which specialties outpaced inflation What percentage of physicians negotiated their compensation, and how many just took what they were given Why "we don't negotiate" pay models push high performers out The paradox: 53% feel personally fairly paid, but 61% say the profession is underpaid What the 40% side-gig number reveals about autonomy and moral injury Resources mentioned: Money Meets Medicine Disability — moneymeetsmedicine.com/disability Need a new CPA or a better Tax Strategy?

Trump accounts — technically the 530A — went live July 4th, and Justin Harvey opened three for his own kids just to see how they work. These accounts are child-owned, they behave like a traditional IRA, and they come with rules most physicians haven't heard yet. Tag along with Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey as they discuss where they actually belong in your savings hierarchy, and who should pass entirely.Resources: Get 10% off working with Gelt, the tax strategy team that Jimmy Turner personally uses: https://moneymeetsmedicine.com/CPA Every doctor needs own-occupation disability insurance.

„Das Schlimme ist, wenn man als Homosexueller darauf hinweist, dass wir Angst vor arabischstämmigen oder afghanischstämmigen Menschen haben, werden wir als Rassisten dargestellt. Also wir dürfen das nicht mal sagen, dass wir Angst vor diesen Menschen haben.“ – so äußert der Aktivist Ali Utlu seine bestürzung. Sein Partner und er wurden am Kölner Bahnhof brutal überfallen. Die Täter: Arabischstämmig In diesem Interview spricht Sophia Juwien mit Ali Utlu – Aktivist, Blogger und Ex-Muslim – über den brutalen Angriff auf ihn und seinen Mann nach der Pride-Parade in Köln. Die Täter, ist er sich sicher sind arabische Migranten. Von der Polizei fühlt er sich in Stich gelassen. Immer mehr Bars und Clubs in Köln brauchen Türsteher und Security, denn "die Situation ist viel gefährlicher als vor 2015", so Utlu.

CPA Spencer Carroll joins the show to unpack tax strategy for physicians: why your income type matters more than your income, and where the real savings hide.

What you'll learn: Which of W-2, 1099, and K-1 is the best—and worst—way to get paid as a physician When an S corp actually makes sense, and how "reasonable salary" really works The truth about real estate professional status and the short-term rental loophole, from a CPA who owns rentals himself The one red flag that means you're probably overpaying: barely talking to your CPA all year Resources: Head to moneymeetsmedicine.com/cpa to book a complimentary call with Gelt and get 10% off your first year.

Dr. Jimmy Turner cut back to part-time at 35—and ended up on antidepressants. FIRE wasn't the escape hatch he expected. FIRE—financial independence, retire early—promises an exit from burnout. But what happens when you finally get there and realize you don't know who you are without medicine? Jimmy and Justin make the case for FIWO (financial independence, work optional) instead.

What if your first three years as an attending decide whether you work three days a week in your 40s—or six days into your 60s? Dr. Jimmy Turner burned out early in his career—antidepressants, 1.3 FTE, the works—before discovering the fix: working less. He and Justin Harvey, CFP, break down Coast FIRE, your Wealth Accumulation Rate, and why the savings decisions you make right out of training set a trajectory you'll feel for decades. What you'll learn: Why a ~30% Wealth Accumulation Rate early on can buy you a 3-day clinical week later How Coast FIRE lets you save less down the road and still reach financial independence on time The two kinds of autonomy—personal and professional—that really drive physician burnout A smarter take on "live like a resident" so you can enjoy your income without losing the plot Resources: Are you a 1099, locums doc, or private practice partner or business owner?

Physicians earning $400K are living paycheck to paycheck—and an 18th-century psychology trap is why. Roughly 30% of doctors over 60 don't have $1M in net worth, even counting their home. Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner unpack the behavioral-finance forces—the Diderot Effect, lifestyle creep, and leverage—that quietly erode physician wealth, and the simple framework that lets you spend guilt-free while still building real options.Resources: Disability Insurance: Every physician needs Disability Insurance from MMM Disability Insurance.

There are two ways to get your student loans forgiven — and the one nobody talks about could leave you with a six-figure tax bill. Most physicians know PSLF. Far fewer understand taxable forgiveness — the IDR path that hands you a massive tax bill 20 years down the road. Jimmy and Justin break down a real listener question (anesthesiologist + dentist, $400K in loans at 7%) to show why "married filing separately" math isn't as clean as it looks, and why your repayment plan now hinges on a looming July 2026 deadline.

One student loan decision in the next few weeks could cost — or save — a physician six figures. On May 1, 2026, the Department of Education finalized the 134-page rule rewriting federal student loan repayment.

Becoming an accidental landlord could cost you a six-figure tax bill — or be the smartest move you make. You're finishing training, moving cities, and that house you bought a few years ago — the one with the enviably low mortgage — is suddenly a decision: sell it and pocket the equity, or rent it out and start building "passive income"? It sounds simple. It isn't. Dr. Jimmy Turner and Justin Harvey, CFP®, break down the real math behind renting vs. selling your home as a physician — and the IRS clock most people don't realize is already running. What you'll learn: How Section 121's $500K capital gains exclusion works — and the 2-out-of-5-year rule that quietly creates six-figure tax bills Why "I have a 3% mortgage" is golden handcuffs, not a strategy The honest cost of becoming an accidental landlord — property management, the 1% maintenance rule, the curveballs When renting during a fellowship is a smart, low-risk way to test landlording Why real estate tax breaks aren't free — what 1031s and "die-with-it" actually require Resources 1099 Doc, locums, or private practice partner?

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Drew and Amanda, a married couple earning around $167,000 a year with a net worth of over $800,000. On paper, they look financially successful but behind the scenes, their fixed costs are dangerously high, their savings are low, and their spending decisions are causing tension in the relationship. Drew admits he struggles with spending, while Amanda finds it difficult to say no, leaving them stuck in a pattern where money feels stressful instead of empowering.

40% of doctors have a side gig — and most are one contract clause away from handing it to their employer. Forty percent of physicians now run a side gig — chart reviews, expert witness work, SaaS tools, real estate, content, consulting. But here's what nobody covered in residency: most are leaving money on the table at tax time, mixing business and personal finances into an unfixable mess, or unknowingly signing away their intellectual property in an employment contract they barely skimmed. In this episode of Money Meets Medicine, Dr. Jimmy Turner and CFP Justin Harvey unpack what physicians actually need to know before they earn their first non-clinical dollar — and what to do once they're already five figures a month in. If you've ever wondered whether you should be an S Corp, whether your hospital can claim your nights-and-weekends project, or whether business ownership is even worth the headache, this one is for you.

What should he be thinking about? Jimmy and Justin use that question as a launchpad into the financial reality of physician non-clinical income — the ups, the downs, and the surprisingly counterintuitive parts. Jimmy, recently transitioned from 15 years as a W-2 academic anesthesiologist to a 1099 private practice gig, shares why business ownership has been more stressful than running codes — and why he's still glad he did it. He explains why a $30,000 surprise tax bill finally pushed him to bring in a real tax strategy team (not the February-only compliance CPA most physicians settle for), and the difference between the two. The conversation digs into the Medscape 2025 numbers: 40% of physicians have a side gig, 50% between ages 40 and 50, and 60% say they're doing it for extra income. Most physicians aren't actually trying to leave medicine — they're trying to build enough financial freedom to practice on their own terms. Sometimes a $60,000 side income buys back a day of the week. Justin pushes on the harder questions: What's your goal? What's the actual ROI once you factor in CPA fees, self-employment tax, and the brain space business ownership demands? Why some physicians thrive in 1099-land and others should sprint back to W-2. They also walk through the practical setup — the deceptively simple three-step LLC-EIN-bank-account process most physicians overcomplicate or skip entirely — and the contract landmine almost no academic physician thinks about: who actually owns the work you do on nights and weekends. Plus the tax-strategy doors most W-2 doctors don't realize are closed to them: S Corp elections, QBI, solo 401(k)s, cash balance plans, and pass-through entity tax. If you're already running a side gig or seriously thinking about one, this is the cheat sheet you wish someone had handed you before you started. What You'll Learn Why 40% of physicians now run a side gig — and the real reason most start one (it's not what you think) The three-step business setup most physicians overcomplicate: LLC, EIN, separate bank account How an employment contract clause can quietly hand your side gig over to your hospital — and how to negotiate it before you sign When a tax strategy team actually pays for itself versus when basic compliance is enough The ROI math on 1099 income: what your side gig really needs to clear after self-employment tax, professional fees, and added complexity Side gigs with lower ceilings but much higher odds of success — and why 90% of online businesses fail Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The 12 to 24 months after residency set the trajectory for your entire financial life — and most physicians get it wrong. In this episode, Jimmy and Justin walk through the financial checklist every new attending needs: why you should start a taxable brokerage account immediately (not just max your retirement accounts), how to build a student loan plan before RAP and IBR rules shift, the backdoor Roth transition, vesting schedules that can cost you tens of thousands, and the lifestyle inflation trap that quietly delays financial independence. You can have anything you want — just not everything. Resources: Looking for a CPA that does more than just file taxes each year?

Molly and Jason are 45 and 46, living together with a 2-year-old daughter. They earn $142,000 a year combined. They have $0 in savings, $46,000 in debt, and a net worth of just $4,842. They dream of buying a house, investing in real estate, and retiring early. But when Ramit opens their Conscious Spending Plan, the picture is stark. Fixed costs at 77%. No savings rate. $25,000 in credit card debt in Molly's name that Jason can't fully account for. And a financial system built entirely on Venmo transfers, separate accounts, and crossed fingers. What Ramit finds underneath the numbers is a relationship where one person is managing everything alone, and the other has quietly checked out. Molly researches, opens accounts, tracks the bills, and covers the overdrafts. Jason works, pays rent, and sends Venmo transfers when asked. Neither of them planned financially before having a baby. Neither of them has seen what a real financial partnership looks like. But something shifts. When Ramit shows them that working together they could reach $1.75 million by retirement, something clicks. They stop explaining why things are the way they are and start talking about what they are going to do. In this episode we uncover: Why two people earning $142,000 a year can have $0 in savings and $46,000 in debt The Venmo money transfer system that has kept them financially disconnected for years What it looks like when one partner manages everything alone while the other disengages How $4,000 in annual subscriptions disappears when nobody is looking at the full picture Why dreaming about real estate investing is the wrong move when your own finances are on fire The moment Jason admits he feels resentful and apathetic about money The plan to sell the truck, wipe the credit card debt, and combine finances for the first time What Ramit means when he says the biggest savings anyone can make is on housing costs The follow-up update from Molly and Jason Chapters: (00:00:00) "We wanna be rich.

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Tania and Mike who are in their 50s, married 21 years, and earning over $225,000 a year. By most measures, they should be fine. But they've been trapped in the same debt cycle for two decades. Cashing out 401(k)s, borrowing from family, and digging themselves out only to fall right back in. Again and again. When Ramit opens their Conscious Spending Plan, the numbers are genuinely shocking. Fixed costs at 155%. Savings at 0%. Guilt-free spending at -73%. They are spending more than they make every single month and they have barely one month of savings to show for it. But the money isn't even the most revealing part of this episode. Ramit works through the psychology behind the cycle, the “dreamer” pattern that keeps pulling them back in, and what it's actually going to take for them to change together. In this episode we uncover: A $228K income with 155% fixed costs… How does that even happen? The parent-child dynamic Ramit identifies and why both of them are miserable because of it Mike's $23,000 tractor purchase and the pattern behind it Why Tania has been a “money transcriptionist” instead of a money manager The “dreamer” trap: Believing the next thing will finally fix everything How Mike's upbringing shaped his complete shutdown around money What real money conversations between couples actually look like The follow-up update from Tania and Mike Chapters: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:07:04) Looking at the numbers: $228K income, 155% fixed costs (00:11:41) "I've never talked about feelings, we've been married 21 years" (00:30:35) The tractor: how every big purchase actually happens (00:43:26) Cashing out retirement AGAIN! (00:47:14) The dreamer pattern: why the next thing never fixes anything (00:53:46) Michael's moment: "I don't know how to talk about money. It scares me." (01:07:56) Ramit walks through their house: where did all the money go?(01:16:07) The alter ego exercise: imagining a different life (01:31:27) Tanya's moment: "I'm the hero. I always say yes."
