When you think about building wealth in medicine, do you picture yourself working at one job until retirement? My guest today, Kristin Burton, proves there's a better way. She began her career like many of us, buried in student loan debt and working long hours. After paying off $161,000 in just 16 months, she realized financial freedom was about more than debt elimination. Kristin shares how she shifted her focus from paying bills to building assets, investing aggressively in her twenties, and eventually creating income streams outside of medicine. We talk about the mindset shifts healthcare professionals must make to get ahead, and Kristin also shares how she helps other PAs, NPs, and PharmDs rethink their financial journey, create sustainable wealth, and avoid burnout in medicine. If you're wondering whether it's possible to thrive in your career, grow your wealth, and still have time for family and passions, this episode is for you! “If you can create a gap between your expenses and income and then create some assets with the gap, it's almost inevitable that you're gonna end up building some wealth.” ~ Kristin Burton In This Episode:- Kristin Burton's journey of paying $161k in student debt- What steps did she take toward becoming a millionaire?- Why your income level doesn't matter in building wealth- What Kristin would do differently and her current beliefs- Biggest client "head trash": PSLF myths and the 4% 401k mindset - How do you help healthcare professionals avoid lifestyle inflation?- Kristin's book recommendations - Redefining wealth: from net worth goals to "what is enough?" - How to find out more and join Kristin's community Book Recommendations Mentioned in the Episode: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: https://a.co/d/3yayzkg 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/hlbLEbG Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy & Dan Sullivan: https://a.co/d/2Ol8RjwThe 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom: https://a.co/d/6SMYeNH Die With Zero by Bill Perkins: https://a.co/d/6ae8TSq Join The Millionaires in Medicine Club!Learn how to clear debt and build wealth as a PA, NP, or PharmD: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/community Connect with Kristin Burton: Website: https://www.millionairesinmedicine.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-burton-pac `Resources:➡️ Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://limitless-md.mn.co/➡️ Check out my programs - https://vikramraya.com/coaching/➡️ Apply to become a Limitless MD -

Think you can't buy a home until your debt is gone and your savings are massive? Think again. In this episode, David Sidoni breaks down the real math behind saving for a down payment while managing debt — and why waiting too long could actually cost you more. For first-time homebuyers, the internet is full of misinformation: you need zero debt, a huge down payment, and perfect timing. Wrong. In this episode, David tackles one of the biggest fears holding renters back — how much you actually need to save, and whether it's possible to do that while still carrying debt. Spoiler: it is.Building on Rosie's inspiring story from the last episode (a single mom who bought her first home in 2025 after bankruptcy), David unpacks the myths that scare buyers into renting for far too long. He explains the strategies that let you save and pay down debt at the same time, and why the rising age of first-time buyers — now at a shocking 41 years old — is proof that misinformation is keeping people trapped.If you're stuck renting because you think your debt or small savings disqualify you, this episode is your wake-up call. Homeownership is possible sooner than you think — if you know the facts. Quote: “You don't need a big down payment and no debt. Nope, nope, nope.” Highlights:The myth of needing zero debt before buying a home — busted.How to save for a down payment while paying down debt.Why waiting too long could cost you more in rising prices and rents.Rosie's real-life story: from bankruptcy in 2019 to buying in 2025.The shocking truth: average first-time buyer age has jumped to 41.

Let's talk about signs for the future, student debt delinquency highs, and seniors....

Is the entrepreneurial drive something you're born with, or can it be learned? Alan had the chance to sit down with his friend and colleague, Dr. Mark Costes, at the recent Voices of Dentistry Pop Up for a deep dive into the mindset of a business owner. Drawing from his own family history, Dr. Costes argues that an entrepreneurial spirit is often an innate trait (nature), but that the skills to succeed can absolutely be cultivated (nurture). They explore the massive shift in the dental profession from the "golden era"—when clinical skill alone could guarantee a great living—to today's reality, where staggering student debt loads make business acumen a non-negotiable key to survival and success. The conversation also contrasts the cottage industry of dentistry with the consolidated world of medicine, weighing the pros and cons of being a W2 employee versus taking on the risks and rewards of practice ownership. Key Takeaways   Entrepreneurs: Nature or Nurture? Mark believes that while an entrepreneurial spirit might be an innate personality trait, the systems and knowledge required for business success can be learned and mastered by anyone. His father, a corporate man, had the spirit but chose security; Mark was able to live out that entrepreneurial drive. The "Golden Era" of Dentistry is Over: Dentists from previous generations could often succeed despite lacking business knowledge because the revenue from clinical dentistry was high enough to hide inefficiencies. The Stakes Are Higher Now: With average student debt approaching $300,000, new dentists cannot afford to be sloppy with the business side of their practice. Every penny must be accounted for, making business education more critical than ever. The W2 Path is a Viable Option: For dentists who are not interested in the risks and stress of ownership, being a W2 employee can still lead to a successful career and financial freedom. However, it requires a different kind of discipline focused on personal finance, smart investing, and tax strategy to build wealth without the final asset of a practice sale. If You Own, Do It Right: For those who do take the leap into practice ownership, it is crucial to commit to learning the business. Otherwise, you are taking on all the risk, liability, and stress for potentially no significant reward. The Problem with Medicine (and a Blessing for Dentistry): While medicine offers high-income W2 opportunities, it is a highly consolidated system that often leaves physicians with little control and massive tax burdens. Dentistry remains a "cottage industry" with immense entrepreneurial opportunity, despite its own challenges with insurance and patient payment discussions. Information vs. Willpower: Whether discussing personal health or business success, simply having the information is not enough. The key challenge is developing the discipline and willpower to act on that knowledge, a hurdle that many people struggle to overcome.

On July 31, 2025, the Labor government passed a student debt bill in Parliament that will reduce the education loans of nearly three million Australian students by about 20 per cent. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that reducing student debt was the government's top priority, and this promise has now been fulfilled. In this podcast, we share detailed information about the bill along with students' reactions to the change.

Common college debt traps are avoidable! Emilie Chowdhury was lucky to learn smart money habits early on, but after nearly a decade in the corporate world, she realized most of my friends—brilliant, educated women—had never been taught how to manage their finances. And the truth is, we shouldn't have to rely on luck to learn this. Financial education should be accessible to all of us. That's what sparked this community: no MLMs, no get-rich-quick schemes, no clickbait. Just honest, approachable, and supportive guidance. Inspired by the power of strong female friendships, Emily's mission is to give you the tools to take control of your money so you can thrive, not just survive. In episode 585 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Emilie decided on Northwestern University, what was special about Alpha Chi Omega, her journey from the corporate world to financial literacy education, what inspired her, how you can flip the "I'm a broke college student" mindset, what are some budgeting strategies for college students, tips to improve chapter-wide financial literacy for treasurers, how to avoid common college debt traps, how to get started with investing, and small steps you can take to own your first home. Enjoy!

Right, tell me what you think of this. There seems to be a bit of an effort underway at the moment to portray IRD as bad guys because they're chasing Kiwis overseas who owe money on their student loans. Now, tell me if you think that we should let either of these two off the hook on the money that they owe. The first is a pilot who moved to Australia 10 years ago. He now owes IRD $170,000. That is his original loan, plus basically mostly interest. He says he moved there for a pilot job in 2014, did it for six years, lost it during COVID, had to take a low-paying job in a storage warehouse. He's a pilot again, but this loan is so big, he doesn't know if he's ever gonna be able to pay it back. Should we let him off his debt? Or do you, like me, look at what a regional commercial pilot in Australia can earn, which is over $100,000 and possibly even closer to $200,000 Australian dollars, and think, he can probably afford to start paying back that debt. The second is a woman who has a debt of $70,000. Now, she moved to the United States 20 years ago. She wants to come back now to see her sick mom, but she can't because she's worried that she's gonna be arrested at the border. Should we wipe her debt? So she can come home and see her sick mom? Or do you like me, think that's entirely her decision. She can come back and see her sick mom. Ain't nobody stopping her doing that. And maybe when she gets here, we'll have a little chat about how she can start to make some repayments on that debt. Or she can carry on like she is, which is clearly valuing her money over her mom. Not coming back. And by the way, arrests over the border only happen to the worst offenders who've who've ignored all attempts by IRD to sort out the debt. Now, don't think I'm callous, right? I do feel sorry for both of these people and everybody else like them, because I imagine it's a horrible situation to be in, to allow your debt to get that out of hand. But that is not an excuse not to pay it back. IRD is, from what I can tell, pretty reasonable here. So much so that that woman's $70,000 debt has now been reduced to only $15,000 so it just covers the original debt in the end. The penalties have been wiped. This is them coming to the party to try to help. Sorry, the free ride is over, the repayments need to start. New Zealand is broke, we actually need this money back. I applaud IRD for going hard on this, and so far, I'm completely unmoved by any attempts to paint them as bad guys. I am yet to come across a single case where I think that IRD is being unfair, asking for the student loan to be repaid. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The dip in global population is something that's been gaining attention as of late, but mostly in the abstract. Something concrete in that dip is about to come due this fall, a staggering drop in the number of available 18+ year olds for the traditional college path. The first bellwether in what my guest for this episode labeled in a piece that, America is about to go over the ‘demographic cliff'. Journalist Jon Marcus, joins for this episode to explore the intersection of demographic shifts, higher education, and the implications for the workforce. The conversation highlights the decline in birth rates, the resulting impact on college enrollment, and the broader economic consequences of college closures. We also get into the cultural perceptions of the value of a college degree and the challenges faced by institutions in adapting to these changes. Before ending on potential strategies for colleges to navigate the impending demographic cliff and its effects on education and the economy.

Trump is working GOP Senators hard with phone calls and promises in order to get support for his so called Big Beautiful Bill.

In this episode, we have a no-holds-barred conversation featuring Kalee Kreider, a seasoned political strategist and expert in climate policy. Together, we dig into the uncomfortable truths about markets, politics, and the economic pressures facing everyday Americans.

He and his wife, a small-animal internal medicine specialist practicing in Denver, have more than $400,000 in veterinary-school debt that they manage using federal income-driven repayment plans. By necessity (and now obsession), his professional activities include researching and speaking on veterinary-student debt, providing guidance to colleagues on loan-repayment strategies and contributing to VIN Foundation resources. Beyond debt, his professional interests include small- and exotic-animal practice. When he's not staring holes into his colleagues' student-loan data, Tony enjoys fly fishing, ice hockey, camping and exploring Colorado with his wife, Audra, daughter, Lucy, and their two rescued canines, Addi and Maggie. Dr. Rebecca Mears Rebecca Mears, DVM is from Lexington, KY, and a graduate of University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. Rebecca started her career as an equine general practitioner and is an active AAEP member, currently serving as a member of the AAEP DEI Committee. Her interest in student debt education began with keeping her own education costs lower and grew from there. This was supported by her involvement in the Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA), which she now gives back to as a National Advisor. In her time away from veterinary medicine, she can be found obsessing over plants and hosting impromptu dance parties. She is passionate about giving back to the profession and improving the lives of veterinarians, pre-vet and vet students.    LINKS AND INFORMATION: VIN Foundation Student Debt Center: https://vinfoundation.org/studentdebtcenter Check your current student loan servicers and other loan details -- VIN Foundation My Student Loans tool: http://www.vinfoundation.org/mystudentloans Loan Repayment Simulator: https://vinfoundation.org/loansim  VIN Foundation WikiDebt: https://vinfoundation.org/wikidebt VIN Foundation Webinars: https://vinfoundation.org/resources/webinars/ VIN Foundation get updates: https://vinfoundation.org/updates/ VIN Foundation GIVE page to support these programs & tools: https://vinfoundation.org/give Debt Repayment Prep Challenge: https://vinfoundation.org/resources/veterinary-student-debt/debt-repayment-prep-challenge/  May 7th webinar - New Graduate Student Loan Playbook: https://vinfoundation.org/resources/veterinary-new-grad-student-loan-repayment-playbook/ VIN Foundation Blog, Related Student Debt Blog posts:  Application for Federal Income-Driven Repayment Plans Reactivated: https://vinfoundation.org/application-for-income-driven-repayment-plans-reactivated/  Personalized student loan Help from VIN and VIN Foundation: https://vinfoundation.org/veterinary-student-loan-debt-help/  Income-Driven Repayment Plan Discretionary income calculations, WikiDebt: https://www.vin.com/studentdebtcenter/default.aspx?pid=14352&catId=74141&id=7249857  New Grad Student Loan Repayment Playbook: https://vinfoundation.org/resources/veterinary-new-grad-student-loan-repayment-playbook/  Borrow Better: https://vinfoundation.org/resources/borrow-better-veterinary-school-loan-debt/  Federal Student Aid Data, Consolidation, and Repayment Applications: https://studentaid.gov/ One-time Forgiveness Count Adjustment  https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/idr-account-adjustment Federal Student Loan Servicers: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/repayment/servicers Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF): https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service Have a veterinary story you want to share? https://share.hsforms.com/1e6QkQvg2RI-wpDv59Byqkwcos60 Stay up to date with VIN Foundation updates: https://vinfoundation.org/updates/ Email VIN Foundation: studentdebt@vinfoundation.org Get updates to stay tuned for the VIN Foundation webinars on student debt.  You may learn more about the VIN Foundation, on the website, or join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

From his vast experience working in industry (from Johnson & Johnson to Essilor) and now his role as the President and CEO of the New England College of Optometry, Dr. Purcell truly is an influential figure in the industry.In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Purcell at NECO about a variety of topics that are affecting both students and optometrists. From changes in board exams to navigating student debt, there are a lot of topics on top of students' minds at this time. Beyond optometry school, there are questions about the future of the profession including how to continue attracting high-quality candidates and improving access to care. Is the answer more schools? Does increased industry involvement help? How much industry involvement is ok?This conversation will bring a lot of value to students, new grads, and veteran optometrists who are interested in thinking of new ways to improve optometry school and elevate the profession as a whole.Connect with Harbir:InstagramLinkedInYouTube

Student debt is a major financial challenge, with U.S. borrowers owing over $1.8 trillion in total. This ongoing debt burden affects millions of individuals. Traditional financial institutions are looking for ways to solve this issue. Meanwhile, fintech innovations are providing solutions. These new technologies are helping to address the problem. Michelle Tran is the head of commercial at Summer and founder of NYC Fintech Women. She joins the Tearsheet podcast to discuss how fintech is streamlining student loan repayment. The conversation focuses on the improvements fintech brings to the process, highlighting how fintech is powering a new generation of financial wellness programs. “For many borrowers, navigating student loan repayment is like filing taxes on their own,” Tran explains. “The process is complicated. And a simple mistake can lead to missed opportunities for debt relief.” Tran highlights how fintech platforms like Summer act as a “TurboTax for student loans,” helping borrowers complete complex federal student loan relief applications accurately. There is a growing demand for employer-sponsored loan repayment benefits. Fintech solutions are helping connect employees with the right programs. These solutions play an essential role in meeting that demand. The Big Ideas * Employers Are Becoming Key Players in Student Debt Relief. “Graduates are considering job offers carefully. They are looking for companies that offer student loan repayment assistance. This benefit is becoming a key factor in their decision-making.” * Federal Loan Forgiveness Programs Are Underutilized. “Many borrowers don't realize they qualify for loan forgiveness. Fintech is helping them access these benefits more efficiently.” * Technology Reduces Errors in Loan Applications. “Automation ensures borrowers submit accurate applications, increasing approval rates for federal programs.” * Fintech Solutions Are Expanding Beyond Student Loans. “Managing debt holistically creates a more secure financial future. The debt includes credit cards and retirement savings.” * Personal Finance Education is a Critical Component. “Helping borrowers understand their financial options leads to better decision-making and long-term stability.”

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, Dr. Shelby Baez is joined by Dr. Gianluca Del Rossi from Creighton University to delve into the compelling findings from Dr. Del Rossi's manuscript, "Student Debt Associated with Entry-Level Athletic Training Education," published in the December 2024 issue of the Journal of Athletic Training.   Article: https://tinyurl.com/5xkcy8hf  Key Points: The average education-related debt-to-income ratio reported by entry-level athletic trainers is considered high by finance industry standards.

At least two people were killed and more than 60 others injured when a car plowed into a busy Christmas market in Magdeburg, eastern Germany, in what appears to have been a deliberate attack. Authorities arrested the suspected driver, who they say is a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian man who first arrived in Germany in 2006.

The bill has been sent to the Senate. This comes after previous attempts to pass similar proposals in the lower chamber had failed.

There is a longstanding, widely held belief that the best chance at a better future is to go off to college – especially for people from marginalized communities.Whether it was your teacher, general political rhetoric, or one of many sitcoms that reflect middle class American life, the message was to go to school or risk failure — dismissing millions of people who decided not to go to college and created viable, sustainable careers in trade professions, from manufacturing and welding to plumbing and software engineering.And now, as college costs continue to rise and more people want to develop a sense of financial stability, education and careers in the trades through vocational schools are becoming not only more accepted, but also encouraged across all factors of society. In our latest episode, host Kai Wright talks to ​​Maya Bhattacharjee-Marcantonio, co-founder of The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, New York, and Eric Kelderman, a senior writer at the Chronicle of Higher Education about the shifting cultural cachet around earning a 4-year college degree. We talk about what motivates some students to pursue vocational education, what this change might mean long-term for Americans across demographics, and why some still prefer a professional path that includes college.Support of WNYC's coverage of economic mobility and opportunity is provided in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
