MtoM #192: Hospitalist Pays Off $380,000 of Student Loans and Finance 101: Target Date Funds
This hospitalist paid off $380,000 of student loans in only 3 years! She had a goal and a plan from the moment she completed training. She poured every cent she could into her debt while living like a resident. She shared that it is not complicated but it does take determination to do something like this. As she was riding her bike to work and skipping on buying the fancy new car her coworkers thought she was a little nuts. She also took advantage of the student loan freeze and saved roughly $40K a year in interest by continuing to pay down the debt during that time. After the interview we will be talking about Target Date Funds.

MtoM #184: Orthopedist Hits $3 Million and Finance 101: You Don't Have to Invest in Everything
This Orthopedist has grown his wealth to $3 million only 3 years out of training. He tackled his student loans quickly and started saving and investing aggressively. As we talk about regularly, a big income is super helpful but it doesn't get you anywhere if you aren't financially literate. He and his wife got on the same page early and put their high incomes to work. Getting their financial ducks in a row is going to give them both the freedom to work fewer hours and create a balanced work and family life. After the interview we talk about that you do not have to invest in everything to have success. Many investors know about the historic returns, tax advantages, and wealth-building opportunities of commercial real estate investing, but they’re confused about where to start or who to trust. Wellings Capital has created a diversified fund that offers investors an easy on-ramp to access carefully vetted commercial real estate operators and opportunities. Their goal is to provide income, growth, and tax benefits with limited downside risk. With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors get a stake in a portfolio of self-storage, manufactured housing, RV parks, industrial properties, and more.
