Should you pay off your mortgage or start investing? How much house can a young physician really afford? Should doctors invest through their corporation or personally? These are some of the biggest financial questions early-career physicians, dentists, and incorporated professionals face. The decisions you make in your 30s can shape your ability to build wealth, achieve financial independence, and create more choices later in life.
In this episode, John and Alex Soutsos discuss the financial priorities they believe every young physician, dentist, and incorporated professional should consider around age 35. They explain how to balance buying a home with investing, why not all debt is created equal, when paying down your mortgage may not be the best use of your cash flow, how corporate investing compares with personal investing, and why insurance, asset allocation, and working with a financial advisor early can help support a stronger long-term financial plan.
John and Alex discuss:
- Why physicians and incorporated professionals should start financial planning early, even before they feel they’ve accumulated significant wealth.
- How buying a modest first home can create more opportunities to invest, build wealth, and avoid lifestyle pressure early in your career.
- The difference between productive and unproductive debt, and whether paying off your mortgage should always come before investing.
- When physicians should invest personally versus through a corporation, and how each strategy can fit into a long-term financial plan.
- And more!
