Episode 8: Three Physicians, Three Big Questions: Planning for Flexibility, Savings, and Sanity

Three physicians. Three very different financial questions. In this episode, we unpack real scenarios from high-income earners navigating career growth, variable income, and burnout. First, we address retirement planning for locum tenens physicians—what options exist when there’s no employer-sponsored plan? Next, we talk strategy with a private practice physician whose income varies with revenue share. Finally, we hear from a physician feeling the effects of burnout. With significant assets already saved, she’s asking a question many mid-career professionals face: Can I afford to slow down? We explore how to balance lifestyle changes with long-term financial independence. In this week’s special segment “Advisor Red Flags," we challenge the common advice that “maxing out your 401(k) is enough." _Have a question you’d like us to tackle in a future episode?
