Financial Residency with Allison and Curtis
A few years ago when we were like trying to dig out of debt I thought they would be so much easier if we had a healthy income.
And yes having a certain amount does make a big difference but that's only part of the equation.
That's why I bought Ryan here to co-host. He's not only familiar with the technical stuff as a financial planner over at Physician Wealth Services, he has practical knowledge and real-life experience as a husband to a physician.
Today he's talking to Dr. Allison Webster, an ER physician, and her husband Curtis, creator of Dads Married to Doctors.
They discuss:
- the financial challenges (and massive amounts of debt) that come with becoming a physician
- working through their differences when it comes to handling money
- their financial system to knock out debt and save for retirement
Hope you enjoy!
