The Finances of Being Married to a Doctor with Financial Residency

While it may seem doctors have it easy with their healthy incomes, the reality is much more down to earth as many are also dealing with massive amounts of debt. Learn how to balance dumping debt, saving, and having some fun now! 

 

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're going to discuss:

• the financial challenges (and massive amounts of debt) that come with becoming a physician
• working through their difference when it comes to handling money
• whether or not you can retire when you're dealing with a massive amount of debt

Hope you enjoy!
